[FunkyHiFi]

"Young Folks" by Peter, Bjorn & John (http://youtube.com/watch?v=51V1VMkuyx0)

An oddball but fun - I'll bet you'll be hearing that whistling portion in your head the rest of the day. :D - song to bob your head to.....which means you'll probably never hear it on a corporate-owned radio station. :mad:

The video is very cool too.

That song's been playing on MTV here for months. It's pretty cool. The video always reminds me of Monkey Dust.

The Concretes are far too wonderful for their own good. And they share members with Peter, Bjorn and John! Double-whammy.

Ooh, I didn't know that! The Concretes are mucho fun.

1) I only have MTV and VH1, neither of which play videos; and there are no other stations on our cable system that regularly plays videos or any non-formulaic music.

2) I gave up trying to scan every music-related site trying to find new good music because there are just too WAAAAY many sites to scan& keep track of. Now I just read this and three other music-related discussion sites to help filter through the garbage.

--> Generally speaking, to me 80% of the internet is totally useless cow poo, 15% is sort of interesting and the rest is what I actually enjoy/find truly useful.

3) I don't listen to the radio, so if it was played there, well..........

And just because I feel like it :D here's another lite-n-merry video done by Swedish musicians. And its OLD, from 2002! But I like it anyway so there! :)

"Summer Sun" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9UIUjKnBIk) by Koop, from their jazz/chillout/hip-hoppish album Waltz For Koop.

Fun factoid: the Japanese girl singing in this was only 15 at the time.

Kanye sampled this song and rhymed over it on his last mixtape. It wasn't as bad as that sounds.
