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.

October Blalock List

28. Retrograde - Going up - It doesn't bode well for this list that I didn't find a song I liked until number 28.
34. Kent Odessa - Honeymoon
36. Best Coast - I Don't Know How - They repeat the song title too much but it's ok.
40. Temples - Keep in the Dark
43. Lost in the Trees - Lady in White - Not their best song but I love anything Ari Picker does.

71. Arcade Fire - Reflektor
76. The Jungle Giants - Skin To Bone
79. Arctic Monkeys - Snap Out of It
81. Allman Brown w/Liz Lawrence - Sons & Daughters. Gorgeous song! I looked up both artist. This is Allman Brown's best song by far. The real find here is Liz Lawrence! Her album Bedroom Hero is amazing!
84. Joy Kills Sorrow - Such Great Heights - Nice cover, the mandolin solo is a bit much.
88. The Kite String Tangle - Tennis Court (Lordes cover). I like this better than the original.
