You Should Own This: #4
Cake- Love You Madly
If you’re not familiar with Cake, well you really should be. One of the best bands of the 1990s alternative/indie scene they released brilliant song after brilliant song. Chances are you’re going to recognise this one, and a lot of their other songs such as Short Skirt/Long Jacket, Going The Distance, Hem Of Your Garment, Never There, Rock & Roll Lifestyle,...

The One AM Radio (@theoneamradio)
Hailing from Los Angeles, The One AM Radio are a a group that perfectly fits the one am timeslot, meaning that this is the kind of the thing you want to be listening to at One AM. While not exactly new, their debut album A Name Writ In Water was released in 2004 that made a lot of critics best lists, they’ve just come under our radar (so take from that what you will...

Gauntlet Hair: "I Was Thinking..."
We at ITYLTS were hooked from the opening to Gauntlet Hair’s I Was Thinking…, the almost hip hop beats, the 70s(ish) guitar riff and layered vocals made us think of Bear Hands, MGMT, Passion Pit. We love that kind of music so it was inevitable we were going to love Gauntlet Hair. When the drums really kick in for the chorus, it turns into a great indie rock song with sing a long...

Tift Merritt // "Thirteen (Big Star Cover)"...
ITYLTS heard this the other night when friends of the blog Elvyn retweeted about it on their twitter. We didn’t know too much about Tift Merritt nor about Big Star who she was covering, we simply knew that Thirteen was a great song and we couldn’t get it out of our heads.
We did a little research and found out Tift Merritt is an amazing singer-songwriter that has been compared to...

New Foster The People Remix: "Houdini (RAC Remix)"...
ITYLTS have been a bit slow today, forgive us we too got caught up in the Royal Wedding fever. Having said that, we noticed that one of our favourite new talents of 2011, Foster The People, have released another remix to their fans. This one, a remix of the fabulous Houdini, has been done by the always brilliant RAC. If you haven’t checked out RAC, go do so now here (seriously,...

Slow Club // Christmas TV
Slow Club- Christmas TV
This just popped up on ITYLTS’s iTunes and we love it so much we had to share it with you. We know its been around for a while, but those who don’t know about it really should. This is a beautifully simple song from this amazing duo. Just guitars and their vocals is all this song needs to tug on your heartstrings. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Mash Ups: Party Ben & Emancipator
It’s a double whammy of mash up royalty that ITYLTS are going to give you right now.

ITYLTS have a few favourites of Party Ben, but the one we’ve posted up here has to be are #1 pick. Tender Umbrella mashes...

Remix, Baby:
Jack Johnson // ‘Breakdown (Handsome Boy Modeling School Remix)
Jack Johnson’s 2004 In Between Dreams remains to this day one ITYLTS’s favourite albums. This remix of the single Breakdown by Handsome Boy Modeling School is brilliantly done, adding a hip hop beat to it, it makes Breakdown into something maybe even cooler than the original.

Yeasayer remixes 'Day' from Moby's forthcoming...
Moby (@thelittleidiot) just posted up this brand new remix of Day from his upcoming album Destroyed (out May 16th). Remixed expertly and beautifully by the Yeasayers, it now makes me excited for an album that ITYLTS hadn’t really bothered to look too much into.

The Head and The Heart (@headandtheheart)
One of the great things about spending lots of time searching for music is when you stumble across something that you know is just a little bit special. ITYLTS has found that with Seattle’s The Head and The Heart, and we’re not the only ones. When we first heard Down in the Valley we were hooked day one from the simple guitar intro and the great lyrics “Lord have mercy on my...

Summertime Kids
Trawling through Hypemachine can be exhausting sometime, especially when nothing really inspires you or sticks out in your mind as worth another listen. This was happening the other night to me until I stumbled across Summertime Kids. I clicked on the link and was immediately whisked away from my room to some moonlit beach, I could almost feel the sand between my toes.

Theophilus London (@theophilusl)
There’s something about Theophilus London that sets him apart from other alternative hip hop artists out today. Maybe its his look, or his delivery, his singalong hooks, or maybe its the 80s funk beats he flows over. Whatever it is, its definitely hitting the music spot.
Theophilus London’s current EP Lovers Holiday is a brilliant showcase of London’s unique style and...

Canadian art rock band BRAIDS seem to be the next band that everyone is getting excited about. Their percussive sound has drawn comparisons to Animal Collective and being from Canada, their quirky sound has been mentioned in the same sentences as Arcade Fire which can only mean good things.
Their debut album Native Speaker released in January 2011 starts off with single Lemonade that begins...

Wild Nothing
Indie-pop synth Wild Nothing is Jack Tatum’s one man band from Virginia. Blending together 80s guitar riffs, synthesizers and a healthy portion of pop vocals, Wild Nothing’s album Gemini is the perfect sit back and enjoy record. Some may initially cast off Tatum’s debut effort as an homage to the 1980s New Wave era, repeated listens are rewarded by the realization of something...
