Wolf Parade – I'll Believe in Anything - Apologies to the Queen Mary (2005)
- Debut album
- Dan Boeckner and Spencer Krug each take their cracks at song writing and lead singing and each are coming of hugely successful releases from their side projects.

LCD Soundsystem - Oh You (Christmas Blues) - This Is Happening (2010)
- James Murphy led outfit
- Score for the interesting-looking not ridiculously silly new Ben Stiller role.
- Band known for successfully tapping into many different genres: dance, rock, indie, dicso.
- They are responsible for what many critics consider some of the greatest songs of the past decade: All My Friends and Someone Great
- This is one of their most dark and brooding. Fits well with Wall-era Pink Floyd, Nick Cave and the heavier John Lennon solo recordings.

Girls – Lust For Life – Album (2009)
- the hype surrounding this band is extensive.
- Their leader’s, Christopher Owens, story is quite unbelievable.
- I’m more sold on that than anything.
- He grew up in a cult in which his brother died, dad left and mom was prostituted out for the good of the cult. Then he was rescued by a millionaire, moved to San Fran and started this band.
- They bring some seriously noisy, fuzzy, nostalgic and make me think of a darker T Rex playing on a beach.

- Warm and fuzzy surf pop… think Beach Boys a little.
