Hockey – Mind Chaos

I discovered Hockey before going to SXSW in 2009 and fortunately I was able to catch one of their sets while I was out there.  They are a fun put-you-in-a-good-mood kind of band and their new album Mind Chaos personifies just that.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Beat The Devil’s Tattoo

It’s been a little while since BRMC has put out an original record but this is the first track off their latest effort Beat The Devil’s Tattoo. I’ve heard the entire record and while this may just be the title track I can assure you the other songs are just as great if not greater.

Listen to Beat The Devil’s Tattoo:

Train – Hey Soul Sister

I’m not much of a Train fan but this song just makes you want to jingle your keys in your coat pocket and sing-along.

Listen to Hey Soul Sister:

Neon Trees – Animal

I’m currently obsessed with this track because well how could you not be. It says D-A-N-C-E all over it.  They opened for The Killers not too long ago but I don’t care for The Killers so therefore I’m looking forward to catching the band at this year’s SXSW.

Listen to Animal:

Common – Universal Mind Control

This is an oldie but a goodie. Makes me want to do the electric slide across my kitchen floor.

Kris Allen – Live Like We’re Dying

I don’t even remember the last time I watched American Idol but I guess this dude won the last one.  Doesn’t really matter to me I just like the song think it can be inspiring and it’s damn catchy.
