Here we go...

So I've stood on the music blog sidelines for far too long. It has been a great source for much of my tunage but there is a great deal of shitty music in the blogosphere as well. My addiction to scouring the web for the latest and greatest will be your bounty, interwebz. I will sacrifice my social life so that you may have one. Whenever you're in your car and your friend says, "Who is this?" all i ask is that you think of me.

What can I say about The Swimmers? I have no idea which is why I bought time with that irrelevant sentence. Listened to some of their other stuff but this truly stood out and will frustrate you the first couple tries at singing along with its tongue twister chorus.

The Swimmers - A Hundred Hearts

On now to Hey Champ. These guys have been absolutely KILLING IT lately. They are incapable of producing a bad song these days. I knew good things were soon to follow when they first came on my radar with "Cold Dust Girl." Here they take The Sound's Beatbox and turn it into something you think Blondie is going to rap over at any moment...it's a compliment.

The Sounds - Beatbox (Hey Champ Remix)

There is not enough I can say about Swedish indie band, Bye Bye Bicycle. Why does so much good music come out of Sweden? Jens Lekman, Lykke Li, Peter Bjorn & John, Parker Lewis, Kanye West...alright, one of those I made up. But still, it's ridiculous. I highly recommend obtaining, in some fashion, Bye Bye Bicycle's album "Compass" which the following track is off of.
