Electric Light Orchestra, "Jungle"

If you're feeling down, you've come to the right place. Prepare to cheer up, and maybe even dance a little...

Tilly and the Wall, "Rainbows in the Dark"

One of my favorite songs in recent memory... the Omaha band's album (Bottoms of Barrels) was recommended to me by the fine folks at the late Atomic Records in Milwaukee (ca. 2006).  It's been a long time since I've had that experience--standing in a record shop with headphones on, oblivious to my surroundings and completely engulfed in a new sound.  And the tap dancing in lieu of drums... genius.  Enjoy.
