Random concept of the day: some songs that really really really should have more listeners on Last.fm

by Marie-Louise Ekman

Alamo Race Track - The Killing
A great song about the Stanley Kubrick film of the same name.

Cave Babies - It'snoteasybeing Green
Joshua from the Watercolor Paintings continuing to make beautiful songs. This time with another band. Plenty of songs for free on their Last.fm page.

Je Reve De Toi - Janeiro
The coolest Brazilian band no one knows about. You won't understand a word, but you'll enjoy the song and absolutely love the 'Eoeoeoeoeo' 2:00 into the song.

Fredrik - Black Fur
I know this curse has been uttered ad nauseam by every indie kid on the planet but here goes:
Damn you Swedish people. Now and forever. Amen.
