Songs that are in my head and bothering me... Volume 1

Bears - Everywhere
Please stream "Everywhere" - one of the best songs you're likely to hear anytime soon. The melody here rivals anything that Belle & Sebastian put out, and I guess that's the point. Pop perfection.

Also, this is a Cleveland band that you should check out before they become too cool for school. Buy the album...it's ten bucks well spent.

Grizzly Bear - The Knife (Girl Talk remix)
This is an mp3 of Greg Gillis doing his thing with the Grizz and the results are pretty much incredible. Yes, Wamp Wamp sucks, and yes, Yellow House was overrated, but somehow he makes both Clipse and Grizzly Bear seem much better than what they actually are. Incredible party sounds here.

Andrew Bird - A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left
Andrew Bird is well-documented as being multi-talented, but in my opinion he rarely brings it all together. Here, he scratches the itch, and it is a near perfect song that makes you wish for 5 minutes more.
