The Temper Trap, "Sweet Disposition"

Heard this weekend when we rented 500 Days of Summer... enjoy!

OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: ∆, "Breezeblocks"

From Ray, a very cool, very unsettling video from alt-J (or ∆)... check it out.

The Band, "It Makes No Difference"

Rest in peace, Levon Helm.

Kool Moe Dee, "How Ya Like Me Now"

From 1987's album of the same name, this was one of many shots at LL Cool J (note the Kangol hat under the wheel of the car on the album cover). Perhaps more memorable for an impressionable youngster in the '80s was its pairing with Hakeem (or Akeem) Olajuwon highlights in the first NBA Superstars video.

Now brothers are riding me
Like a pony
I'm no phony
I'm the only real micaroni. 

Enjoy!

Pharaohe Monch, "Body Baby"

The Cars, "You are the Girl"

Another recommendation by Maura, Child of the '80s.  Enjoy...

U2, "Red Hill Mining Town"

One of Maura's favorites, Larry Mullen called this one (from The Joshua Tree) "one of the lost songs."
 

N.A.S.A., "Gifted" (f. Kanye West, Santigold & Lykke Li)

Perhaps Monday is too early for something like this.  Perhaps not.  Prepare to be taken away.

OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: OutKast, "Jazzy Belle"

Compliments of Seiji, who takes you back to some old school, southern bounce with this track off ATLiens.  Enjoy!

HTRMOS: Cansei de Ser Sexy, "Music Is My Hot Hot Sex"

OK, so maybe this connection is a little tenuous, but if a couple of notes went down instead of up in that opening line... couldn't you splice it with this?
