The Royal Concept – Cabin Down Below - Let me start by saying that I like these guys.  On Our Way is an amazing song.  I also liked this song, that is up until 1:45.  At exactly that time in the song a saxophone solo, the likes of which have not been heard since 1984, plays for 30 seconds, which doesn't sound like a long time but trust me it is.  I can't know what they were thinking!

Swiss Lips – Carolyn - I'm not in love with their songs but their videos are awesome.  Is one is an old video game which was clever.  But their video for their song U Got the Power is all clips from Breakin' and Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo.  Makes me think of hanging out in the garage watching RyRy's friends try to break dance.

13. We Were Evergreen – Baby Blue
14. The Burning Of Rome – Ballad Of An Onion Sprout
16. Lakes Of Canada – Bated Breath - I really like this song but I wasn't going to add it because the lead singer sounds too much like one of the Indigo Girls or Melissa Ethridge, turns out it's actually a guy who looks a lot like Zach Galifianakis!
