Forthcoming single from another Terrible license.  These were super hot at SXSW this year.  Getting lots of radio play here too. 
7. MEMORY TAPES - Graphics Remodel Edit     
A new punchy version of a track from the critically adored Seek Magic album, with added dancefloor action. 
8. CARIBOU - Odessa 
Courtesy of City Slang, this is a taster of Mr Snaith's absolutely genius forthcoming album. 
9. CEREMONY - Someday     
A forthcoming SIC single from a brand new US band.   Sort of amped up shoegazing dancefloor stomper that is oddly reminiscent of JAMC stamping all over The House Of Love. 
10. JESSICAL LEA MAYFIELD - Kiss Me Again    
Black Keys acolyte, JLM is going to blow up this year.  Feel the pain of this Mazzy Star Galaxie 500 heart skewering song. 
11. FREELANCE WHALES - Generator 2nd Floor     
Much hyped new multi-instrumentalist band from Brooklyn, this has NME, Radio1 and the whole blog world salivating. 
12. THE SILENT LEAGUE - When Stars Attack   
A taste from their forthcoming 3rd magnum opus, this is extraordinarily lush and beautiful soft rock heaven.  ELO meets Talk Talk. 
13. AIR FRANCE GBG - Belongs To Us    
First new track from album 2 of these Gothenburg wunderkinds.  Pure pop wonder. 
14.WASHED OUT - Feel It All Around   
One of the blog world's biggest buzzes of the last year still pushes our buttons, dreamy, clever and beautiful. 
15. PURE MOODS - Paris Hilton    
New venture from SIC act Other Passengers singer, Billy Jones this is.. Liars as produced by Phil Spector.  Monumental. 
16. MEMORY CASSETTE - Surfin'       
CD debut for a rather brilliant oldie from Memory Tapes' Dayve Hawk's closet.   Absolutely addictive. 
17. PHOENIX - 1901 Memory Tapes Remix    
The world's most remixed song?  Probably but this takes a teeny bit of the song and runs off with it to someplace very weird. 
18. FEAR OF TIGERS - Please Don't Leave     
Well,  it's 90s rave and I admit it.  For fans of Darude's Sandstorm.    
19  THE REST - Drinking Again    
The comedown.   Canada's The Rest deliver a stark and cold, heart-stopping confessional, worthy of Elliott Smith
