Future Of The Left - Plague Of Onces
I don’t need a point because I didn’t last summer
I don’t need objectives
I don’t need a process
I don’t need a prison

The Von Bondies - Lack Of Communication
This is from The Von Bondies’ debut, the one about which they infamously got in a fight with producer Jack White. The Von Bondies didn’t like the production. I have to say I’m with White here (although there was no need to get violent): Lack Of Communication sounds excellent and remains The Von Bondies’ best album by far.
Witchcraft - The Alchemist
It will blow your mind. (If it doesn’t at first, because you find the instrumental middle section boring, keep listening. It will grow on you.)
Woven Hand - Blue Pail Fever
Q. But are we so corrupt that we are totally unable to do any good and inclined to all evil?
A. Yes, unless we are regenerated by the Spirit of God.
Peter Wolf Crier - “Hard As Nails”
What was that you said? The Dodos aren’t low-fi enough for you? Bon Iver isn’t hard enough? Let me introduce you to Peter Wolf Crier. A duo from Eau Claire (go Wisconsin!!), these boys may have put out the sleeper album of the year.
The “Bon Iver not hard enough” remark is spot on. Some hints of Woven Hand too.
The Heavy - “How Do You Like Me Now?”
I’ve been digging their release The House That Dirt Built hard lately. These guys do scuzzy, soul-infused garage rock so freakin’ well.
The (International) Noise Conspiracy - The Reproduction Of Death
I’m a big fan of breaks in rock songs and this one has a really great one.
The (International) Noise Conspiracy - Bigger Cages, Longer Chains
“Now I see what they are offering me are just bigger cages and longer chains.”
The White Stripes - Fell In Love With A Girl
Seven Nation Army be damned. This is still The White Stripes’ greatest song.
Baby Woodrose - Pouring Water
Making perfect two and a half minute rock songs is not a guaranteed way to fame. Fortunately that doesn’t stop Baby Woodrose from making them.
