Herman's Hermits - "Silhouettes (On the Shade)"
The oldies have been pouring in lately, and something about Herman's Hermits I like. Their unique sound, maybe. Their catchy rhythms, perhaps. Their sweet name? Definitely.

Jay & The Americans - "Come a Little Bit Closer"
Hey! An oldie! I love oldies! Imagine if someone came out with a backing band called "The Americans" right now? Beyonce and the Americans? Justin Beiber and The Americans? Unless it was Toby Keith, it would be really bizarre. People would probably want to see their passports and crap, challenging their patriotism... I just can't see it going over well. But "Jay"? Yup, he got away with it. (Hey! My first blog-ramble! It's a milestone!)

David Gray - "This Year's Love"
Putting the iPod on shuffle can help discover old favorites. Like David Gray. This Year's Love might be my favorite of his. I don't call a lot of songs gorgeous... but this song is gorgeous. There. I said it.

The Shins - "Goodbye Girl"
The original by Squeeze isn't bad either, but this cover by The Shins is really doing it for me today. I love how simple it is, but you really feel that James Mercer loved the original and had a blast covering it. This has been on repeat for the last hour.

Martin Solveig & Dragonette - "Hello (Original Mix)"
I wish I could remember where I came across this song because it rocks and I want to see if there's more like it. It's pretty hard for me to find a song that I can enjoy hanging out at home, driving in the car, or listening to at a club. But this has accomplished all three. (You know, because I go to all those clubs and stuff.) But I'm really loving this song

Queen feat. David Bowie - "Under Pressure"
Random anecdote: every time this song used to come on, I always got upset when it wasn't Ice, Ice Baby, and would change the song. I guess that wasn't really anecdote, but the point is, now I love this song.

The Who - "Tommy, Can You Hear Me"
So simple. But so great. The loop could go on for 10 minutes and wouldn't get old. I'm really upset I never got to see the actually show Tommy. Must've been fantastic.
