The Roots!
JZ just discovered the Roots on Yo Gabba Gabba and is loving them.
Incidentally, Weezer will also be on Gabba in the upcoming year.
Not a patch on R.E.M. doing "Shiny Happy Monsters" on Sesame Street but okay.
Gimme some milk.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Did Rilo Kiley also do a Yo Gabba Gabba? I know I've seen an adorable YouTube of Jenny Lewis singing with kids.

Yup, I love that. In fact, I watched it for the first time with you at megan_walker's!!!
I stopped working just to listen to that again. Because it's just that awesome.

I freakin' love The Roots.
Well they've got a song just for you, your lovely wife and the glam baby.

I looked it up and Jenny Lewis's YouTube is here. It's not Yo Gabba Gabba but it's freaking adorable.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Let's see - some stuff I haven't seen mentioned yet: Calexico, Franz Ferdinand, Santagold, Ladytron, Gorillaz, Kaiser Chiefs, Freezepop.
That's off the top of my had of stuff that's been in heavy rotation for me (or at least multiple select songs from each have been).
The new Arctic Monkeys is sticking with me in a way their others didn't.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This may or may not apply to Raq's quest, but if you wanna download one awesome song, try "Bullets" by tunng (from the Good Arrows album).
