I have a good feeling about these picks despite their unlucky number. Who would have thought that Peter, Bjorn and John’s new LP Seaside Rock would be an instrumental? Not I. But then again they’re from Sweden, so I guess that makes it ok.

I was also inspired by today’s David Byrne & Brian Eno release to post “Glass, Concrete and Stone,” the highlight of the In Good Company soundtrack that makes me shutter with fear of corporate America. And yes, I finally gave into all the Okkervil River hype - although I’m not completely sold on the whole album, “Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe” isn’t all bad. Check it out and judge for yourself.

MP3s:

Peter, Bjorn and John - “Inland Empire”
Bark Hide and Horn - “Treasure of the Everglades”
David Byrne - “Glass, Concrete and Stone”
TV on the Radio - “Let the Devil In”
Yo La Tengo - “Black Flowers”
Okkervil River - “Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe”
