If Looks Could Kill
I played this, and my wife and son gravitated to the computer and said: "Ooooh! I like this!" I do too! Really cool song. Pretty much everything there is to like about pop music is in this tune. Gruveeeeeee.

It's really good to hear Jesse finally letting himself sing a little more. The guy has a damn good voice, if he'll just allow himself to believe it. And this is a really good song, to boot.

I've been following Jay since 1989 back before Uncle Tupelo released their first record. And he's been a favorite songwriter of mine since then. Not only a great songwriter, but also an amazing, amazingly honest voice. Thank God he still has a sympathetic band with him. Truly one of the modern greats!

Just made it into the Underground 40, and with good reason. This is a really good song. Reminds me a bit of Michael Penn, and that is a good thing! Great melody and feel. Like the strings, too.

Fly on the Wall brought this to my notice via the Pipeline, calling it "a trip". He's right. This is excellent. I am a notorious sucker for klezmer, and combining it with a jazz/blues — like something from Porgy & Bess — is a stroke of genius. You know the Gershwins were Jewish!

Reminiscent of late-80's XTC and Jellyfish – this is simple pitch-perfect psychedelic pop music. Wonderful harmonies and a well-thought arrangement. A joy to listen to.

Somewhere between Rancid, Naked Raygun, and the Dead Kennedys. Truly punk. Melodic hardcore. And a really cool tune. I would love to hear a studio recording of this, when you get around to it, Phlegm. This has become one of my favorites of yours and it's not even done yet!

Bob Elliott
Endless
Is Bob ever going to stop making great tunes? I hope not. This one is a little different for Bob: some (obviously) electronic percussion and a vocal arrangement that is just slightly left-of-center; but you have to really listen to hear it. And, lest you think that's a slight, it's not... the arrangement is inspired and beautiful... vocals and instrumentation. I think I hate you too, Bob.

I love the vocal mix on this one. It's a very cool song, in general, that reminds me a little of a more-pop Alice In Chains/Meat Puppets hybrid. And a Meat Puppets feel will pretty much always hook me!

Otis and the Professors
Turtle Song
Okay, so I went and listened really because they added "Cary's Here" to their station, but when I was listening, something happened. I liked it!!! A very intimate bedroom recording that reminds me a little of Syd Barrett and a little of Daniel Johnston and a little of Death Cab For Cutie. Endearing and affecting bedroom folk pop from Otis and his cohorts.

"Violin-soaked punk folk rock"? That grabbed my attention! This is a really, really cool song! Somewhere between The Arcade Fire and Andrew Bird... with obvious command of classical harmonic theory and an intuitive sense of melody and perhaps, even more importantly drama. I am looking forward to hearing more of what this guy has to offer.

Cool, trance-like grooving song that makes me want to delve deeper into Paul's catalog. And Anjuli adds a particularly sultry vocal. Unfortunately, a whole lot of stuff on his page is not working! So, this will have to suffice for now. Good thing it's so damn good. Welcome to The Good Stuff, Paul!

Super Furry Animals with a Cockney accent? Damn the comparisons, this is EXCELLENT progressive pop with great hooks and enough musical surprises to keep me actively listening not just through the song, but 2 or 3 times through the song, in a row!!! One of my favorite new finds here at the IAC. So cool!!!

Minimalist melodicism. There is a tenderness to Hugh's voice here that is really affecting and the longing, resigned-sounding sax plays off of it perfectly. A really pretty song. A really wonderful song and arrangement. And probably Hugh's best vocal performance, ever. Or, at least that he's posted here on IAC.

This sounds to me like one of the harder-rocking tracks from Blur's Parklife or Modern Life Is Rubbish albums. Great melody, hard rocking, and a singer that is unabashedly English and knows just how cool his accent can sound. Great stuff.
