August

• Now, Now by St. Vincent. In the "new music you've got to hear" category is St. Vincent. St. Vincent, aka Annie Clark, has a very respectable musical pedigree, having toured with Arcade Fire and John Vanderslice and collaborated with Polyphonic Spree. She is compared to a mixture of PJ Harvery, Feist, Kate Bush, Sufjan Stevens...and, uh, Joe Satriani. With a "sounds like" mixture like that, you know you have to check it out. Follow the link, and off you go.

• Back in your Head by Tegan and Sarah. Canadian twins Tega and Sarah have gone all 80s new wave on us on their new album the con - but maybe that's just the influence of their producer, Death Cab for Cutie's Christopher Walla. Well, whoever's idea it was - it works. This track may make a believer out of you.

• Stronger by Kanye West. OK then, who's it gonna be - Kanye or Fiddy? These two hip hop enemies are releasing albums on the same day, and 50 Cent has said that if Kanye's album sells more than his, then he will stop making music. So far, all signs point to a farewell tour in Fiddy future - but what do you think? Check out this new Kanye track and decide whose album you're going to buy - for the good of the future of hip hop.

• Party Like a Rock Star by Shop Boyz. If there is one thing the music press loves it is a new "genre" of music - complete with a new buzz word to go with it. When you add up all of the alt-countries, crunks, prog rocks, and folk pops of the world (to name a few), you will see that there are now more sub-genres of music than there are people to listen to them. Well, get ready for one more - hood rock. Hood rock is Dirty South hip hop mixed with rock music - apparently. But why do you need a special name when the music is plain old good? This song has become something of an anthem this summer, so don't miss out.

July

• Joker and Clown by Grand National. Do you long for the good old electro-pop days of Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys? Then Grand National is for you. This song is from the new Grand National album, currently available only online - in store release is planned for September. What you'll get here is great 80s inspired synth hooks with a touch of the modern world, ala Radio 4 or The Editors. With this music coming firmly back into vogue (even Erasure has a new album coming out), expect to hear a lot more from Grand National.

• Sober by Kelly Clarkson. This track is from the new Kelly Clarkson album My December, and if you keep up on the gossip, then you know what that means. This album was a battleground for the former American Idol star and her record label. Seems Kelly wanted to put more of her own stamp on the album, and her label wanted to re-create the success of her first album by focusing on pre-fab pop songs. Cue leaks to the press about her label refusing to release the album, cancelled summer tours, dramatic changes in management - all the requisite music biz scandal ingredients. Who is right about the album? Download this song and decide for yourself.

• Eat to the Beat by Blondie. Do Blondie really need an introduction? I didn't think so. Eat to the Beat is the title track from Blondie's 1979 mega-hit album - recently digitally remastered and re-released with a companion DVD of new music videos created by the band. If for some reason Blondie DO in fact need an introduction, follow the link, and you'll be able to check out this landmark album in its entirety. Debbie Harry - we salute you.

• Umbrella by Rihanna. My, my, Rihanna has everyone hearts all aflutter with this new song and especially the video for it. This Jay-Z duet is "blowing up the charts" as they say and is proof of Rihanna's claim to R&B royalty status. Move over, Beyonce. Rihanna newcomers can check out our Rihanna profile to learn more.

• Say It Right by Nelly Furtado. Remember when Nelly Furtado was Like a Bird? Well, she's chucked that folky pop songstress thing out in favor of hip hop sex pot, thanks to the likes of Timbaland and Justin Timberlake, and the public has said "yes, please" to this new sound. Ms. Furtado has claimed her role of music heavy hitter, selling out stadiums and topping the charts everywhere she goes. If you haven't met the new Nelly F yet, check out the link above, where you can download this song, plus two other bonus tracks to boot.

• The Rat Cage by the Beastie Boys. From way back in the Brass Monkey and Paul Revere days right up through masterpieces like Check your Head, the Beasties have never disappointed. By the sounds of this track, their new album will live up to tradition. No samples, no words - just good music. Go on - click the link and see for yourself.

• Robert Onion by Frank Black. OK, most people think that Frank Black stuff can be a little hit or miss, but given the fact that this man is one of the brains behind the almighty Pixies, he certainly deserves your attention. This song is a from a new Frank Black comp, which features highlights from his 1993 - 2003 material, plus new songs from a forthcoming album. The new album will be a Francis Black album...I know, I know, Frank Black, Black Francis, Francis Black, pick a name already - but this is still well worth a listen.

• Tarantula by The Smashing Pumpkins. Here it is, your chance to sample the new Smashing Pumpkins album. Of course, "Smashing Pumpkins" is a term that should be used loosely, since not all of the original Pumpkins took part. Some people love this new sound, some people are horrified - what do you think? Follow the link and decide.

• Planet Earth by Prince. So, it seems that Prince has relented and on his new album is forgoing all of the confusing name games, like TAFKAP and that symbol thing. Now, it is officially acceptable to call him Prince again. On this track from his new album, he gives up the name crusade for a more timely crusade - global warming awareness. He's got a little more funk than Al Gore, but the message remains the same.

• Tell Me by Diddy featuring Christina Aguilera. Diddy is feeling nostalgic on this new album, as evidenced by the 80s synths he relies upon in many tracks. Sure, Diddy (P. Diddy and Puff Daddy and Puffy before him, if you know what I mean) has always been known for making heavy use of samples, but this new album shows an altogether more original side of Diddy. He's wearing his influences on his sleeve, but letting more of his own ideas shine through.

June

• Ice Cream by New Young Pony Club. There's a certain place where punk music meets dance music, and New Young Pony Club might the very center of that place. They take a tour through 70s punk, like original riot grrls The Slits, past 80s synth and new wave pop, and end up somewhere that incorporates everything into a thoroughly modern sound. Good for dancing and good for people who thought they hated dance music, everyone can agree on the New Young Pony Club.

• Get It Shawty by Lloyd featuring Ja Rule and Big Boi. Lloyd. Not a very remarkable name, is it? Don't let the unassuming name fool you, though. This young man is drawing some serious comparisons to someone you have heard of a time or two before - Michael Jackson (pre-court case days), and big names are lining up for a chance to work with him. Follow the link to check out this track and get the chance to hear some other Llyod tracks from his new album Street Love.

• You're Awesome by Stars as Eyes. The problem some people have with dance music and electronica music is that it can be a little cold. Not so for Stars as Eyes. This is electronica music to be sure, and yes, they do use a computer, but you can hear the human touch behind it. Think Boards of Canada or Mouse on Mars. Expect to hear a lot more from these guys in the future.

• Hate on Me by Jill Scott. Remember when singers had to be able to actually, well, sing? Jill Scott would fit in well in that world. She channels Aretha, Billie and other old school female belters, but she brings her own modern hip hop edge to the table as well. Jill Scott may just restore your faith in R&B.

• What I've Done by Linkin Park. Lots of people wrote off Linkin Park as a poor man's Korn when they first appeared on the scen, but the band is certainly having the last laugh now. They've proved they're in it to stay, and they're winning rave reviews for their brand new, Rick Ruben produced album Minute to Midnight. Follow the link (no pun intended) above and see what all the fuss is about - a word of caution, however - this song is explicit.

• Modern Love by David Bowie. David Bowie has been around so long, you have to classify his music by decade. This song comes from a new compilation of Bowie tracks from the 80s, and while that is not everyone's favorite Bowie period, with the 80s sound firmly back in style now, this track sounds new again. If you follow the link, you will get to sample other Bowie 80s fare, including Let's Dance and China Girl.

• Don't Stop Believin' by Journey. What did it all mean?? Journey is experiencing a resurgence in popularity thanks to that much debated ending of The Sopranos - many people think that this song, which plays during the finale, is a major piece of the puzzle. Download it, analyze it, and decide- is Tony dead? If you couldn't care less about The Sopranos, well, this song is still the perfect guilty pleasure.

• Shoo-B-Doop and Cop Him by Betty Davis. Sometimes, the real trail blazers don't get their dues. Case in point - Betty Davis. The wife of jazz music mastermind Miles Davis, Betty singlehandedly invented that 70s funk sound - part rock, part disco, and part soul. While her legacy lives on in many modern artists, her name is unknown to all but a few. That might be about to change, thanks to the recent reissue of all of her recordings. Time to give credit where credit is due.

• Bartender by T-Pain. You may remember T-Pain from 2005, when his impossible to ignore (for many reasons) song I'm N Luv (Wit a Stripper) was burning up the airwaves on MTV. Now, he's back with a new album and this single, dedicated to anyone who's been trying to get the bartender's attention, and not just to get another beer. T-Pain comes to R&B with a decidedly hip hop background, so what you have here is soul music even tough guys can listen to. Check it out.

• If I Never See Your Face Again by Maroon 5. There are two schools of thought when it comes to Maroon 5 - "wow! they're so unique" and "are you kidding me?" One thing that can't be denied, no matter which camp you find yourself in, is that they always make a splash when they hit the scene. This song is from their new album, which is currently burning up the charts. Love 'em or hate 'em, expect to hear more of 'em.

May

• Grace Kelly by Mika. Mika is all the rage in the UK at the moment, and he is just about to make his presence felt on the other side of the pond as well. Think big, orchestral pop numbers with all the drama of a Broadway musical, but with a touch of irony - or Elton John with a sense of humor. Comparisons to Queen and the Scissor Sister abound, but why not make up your own mind? Follow the link and check out this song, plus one bonus track.

• Stars are Blind by Paris Hilton. Now that Paris is headed to the big house to serve time for violating her probation, it just seemed, well, newsworthy to drag out this track, her hit from last summer. Whether you're a member of the burgeoning "Free Paris" movement or you did a little victory dance when her sentence came down, you have to admit, this song is just not as bad as it should have been. In fact, it's downright catchy and fun. Go on, download it - you know you want to.

• Tambourine by Eve. With Eve spending so much time on her acting career these days, you may have forgotten that the reason you know her name in the first place is because of her music. Well, she's back with a new album of R&B pop hits-to-be to remind you, starting with this one, the first single. Welcome back, Eve, it's about time!

• Puppet on a String by Detroit Cobras. Do you want to rock this weekend? Great! To get you started, we bring you this track from the new album, Tied and True, by the OTHER great band from Detroit, the Detroit Cobras. Think White Stripes, and then think even more raw, and you're nearly there. If you follow this link, you'll get to check out the entire album, and if you still haven't had your garage rock fill, why not check out our Free Garage Rock Music Downloads and Free White Stripes Music Downloads pages? Right on.

• Ever Present Past by Paul McCartney. Does a Beatle really need any introduction? On this track, from Paul's new album Memory Almost Full, Sir Paul muses about a live well lived. And no, he hasn't lost his pop song magic touch, as amazing as that seems 40+ years down the line from when his music first turned the world on its ear. Memory almost full? Somehow, I doubt it

• If You Fail, We All Fail by Fields. Haven't heard of Fields yet? Don't worry, you will. The debut album from this London band is getting the music press all in a tizzy with its hints of My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive (yes - Shoegazers everywhere rejoice!). They've already pulled opening act duty for bands like Bloc Party and Snow Patrol, and you can bet that soon everyone is going to be talking about them. Get in on the action before everyone else and download this track. A word of caution - call them THE Fields - when you add the "The", you're talking about a psych rock trio from the 1960s. Just a tip.

• We Could Be So Good Together by The Doors. I know, we usually go for the new stuff on this download list, but sometimes it's worth stopping and checking in with some of the bands that made rock'n'roll more, well, rock'n'roll. Jim Morrison was one of the original bad boys of music (Pete Doherty, eat your heart out), but he knew how to bring the musical goods to back it up. This track is from comes from the 12 disc Doors box set, which includes tons of unreleased songs and new versions of old favorites. Follow the link, and you'll get to download this song, plus listen to 15 other songs from the box set. As you listen, one thing will become clear - time has not dulled the power of this music one iota.

• Bookshop Casanova by The Clientele. With a song called "Bookshop Casanova", I'm sure The Clientele hardly needs an introduction. This is decidedly British, somewhat twee, dreamy pop music - and boy, is it good. Think Belle and Sebastian meets Galaxie 500, and you get the picture. Fans of Orange Juice, Felt, Aztec Camera - you'll like this one.

• Stunna Glasses at Night by Federation. OK, so you finally learned what crunk is, now it's time to learn about hyphy. Every trend like this has its birthplace, and for hyphy, that birthplace is the Bay Area, where hyphy is THE sound of the moment. Hyphy is, well...really, who makes up all of these names, anyway? It's hip hop, and it's good hip hop, isn't that enough? Most people say Federation ARE hyphy, but really, the more important thing for you to know is that Federation have worked with Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes and E40 - not a bad resume. Whether you want to catch on to this whole hyphy thing, or if you just want to hear some good hip hop, the link above will work just fine for you.

• I Melt With You by Nouvelle Vague. It's a holiday weekend, and whether you're taking a road trip (you must be rich!) or just sitting out in the sun with friends, you're going to need some music, right? Well, you won't do better than the Nouvelle Vague compilation. Two French musicians work with a variety of vocalists to re-work 80s classics in Bossa Nova style. The results are something to behold - perfect for this first weekend of summer - or any time of the year, really. And no, you won't have to keep getting up and pressing "repeat" - the link above will take you to a place where you can download this track, and stream the entire album. All this, and it's not even Christmas.

• Bouncing off Clouds by Tori Amos. Quirky piano pop - that's really what Tori Amos' music is, but it is her bitingly sarcastic and insightful lyrics that have won her legions of devoted fans around the world. This track is from her new album - her 9th since the early 1990s and following the link will get you the chance to check out three other new songs.

• You Broke My Heart by Lavender Diamond. Let's get one thing out of the way up front. Lavender Diamond is in the running for the worst band name ever award. It's the kind of thing kids name their bands on shows on Nick Jr. That makes it all the more confounding that this music is really GOOD. Sunny folk pop with lovely little melodies is what you will find here, and the singer's voice is one-in-a-million that you'll forgive them for this dreadful name. Just goes to show you...(insert book/cover reference here).

April

• Obscene Strategies by Trans Am. The math rock kids were all about Trans Am in the mid 1990s, and with good reason. These guys had the post rock thing down to a science - music for people who stand still at gigs, stroking their chins, but yet it was never cold or distant. This track is from their latest album, which was recorded with each member of Trans Am on a separate continent. Pretty impressive, huh? Did the New Zealand-UK-USA recording sessions make this record a little colder than normal? You be the judge - follow the link above. One thing is for sure - these boys have been listening to some electronica.

• Mr Big Stuff by Jean Knight. The almighty Stax label (Issac Hayes, Otis Reddding, The Staple Sisters, and more) is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and to kick of the festivities, they have released a 2 disc set of some of their greatest hits. Follow the link above and you'll get to try out 15 other soul classics, in addition to the song you find here.

• Mama You Sweet by Lucinda Williams. Alt Country fans can already tell you that Lucinda Williams is the reigning queen of the genre, coming along every now and then just to teach everyone else how it is done, and if you haven't experienced the wonder that is Lucinda, now is your chance. The link above will let you download this track, plus sample all the other tracks from her new album West - sure Mama is sweet, but this deal might be even sweeter.

• Breaker by Low. Ah, Low. Masters of hauntingly beautiful slowcore music - minimal, yet overflowing with charm. But Low, we never knew ye. This new album, The Great Destroyer, is pure rock 'n' roll. Don't worry Low fans. Low manages to give a rock record the same beauty they give their more typical minimal masterpieces. See for yourself - follow the link above, and you'll be able to download this song and make your own conclusions.

• I Know by Drake Bell. Yes, Drake Bell is the "Drake" part of the Nickelodeon program The Drake and Josh Show, but before you write this song of as one for the kids, you should know that Drake is getting some very grown up props for his radio friendly, guitar pop tunes. Go on and give him a try. We won't tell.

• Quantum Theory by Jarvis Cocker. Jarvis Cocker has been spending his post-Pulp days lending his wry wit and song writing genius to other lucky artists, but lucky for us, Mr. Cocker has finally decided to return to the game. After all, no one does Jarvis Cocker like Jarvis Cocker. This track from his his first solo album (the album is entitled Jarvis) simultaneously satisfies your Pulp cravings while being different enough to keep it interesting. Fans of the Tindersticks and the Divine Comedy should enjoy this one as well.

• On Call by Kings of Leon. What you know about the Kings of Leon seems to depend a little bit on where you live and where you're from. In the US, they are marketed more as a straight up Southern rock band - cooler than Lynyrd Skynyrd to be sure, but occupying Black Crowes territory. In the UK, the band is seen as ultra cool and hip and as embodying some kind of mysterious Deep South gothic persona - Deliverance in drain pipe jeans and thrift shop cool t-shirts. Hmm. The truth? Somewhere in the middle, we'd say, but see for yourself. Follow the link above and draw your own conclusions.

• Rocket Man by Elton John. Do you remember when rock was young? You and Susie had so much fun? Ok, ok, this isn't THAT song, but I bet you're in an Elton John kind of mood right now, aren't you? Well, as luck would have it, you can click the link above to download Rocket Man and two other digitally remastered Elton John number one hits.

• Sun Drenched World by Joshua Radin. You know who Joshua Radin is - you just might not know you know him. His music has been used on just about every hit show on TV, and radio play has followed. What does he sound like? The most frequent comparison he gets is Elliott Smith, and people also compare him to Nick Drake and Sufjan Stevens. Fair comparisons all for this singer songwriter who actually has something to say.

• I Lovely Cosmonaut by Andy Partridge/Monstrance. Yes, that Andy Partridge, of XTC fame. But if you're expecting to hear XTC-esque pop perfection here, think again. Apparently satisfied that he has shown the world what pop music is supposed to sound like, Andy Partridge has turned his attention to...(drum roll)...avante garde jazz! And no, he doesn't put the "catchy" into avante garde. He stays true to the genre, so this will be a shock to the ears of longtime XTC fans, but that doesn't mean it's not worth a shot. This jazz project goes under the name Monstrance and includes fellow XTC alum Barry Andrews and Martyn Baker.

• If You've Got the Money (I've Got the Time) by Merle Haggard. A lot of people think they hate country music, and if you're one of them, then Merle Haggard is just the kind of artist you need to hear. Haggard, along with artists like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Sr, Willie Nelson, and Patsy Cline really transcend genres - they just plain make good music that just so happens to be called country. The good news about this track is you don't even have to have the money, Mr. Haggard still has the time. Click the line to download this song for free.

• Snap Yo Fingers by Lil John featuring E40 and Sean Paul of Youngbloodz. Some Dirty South crunk from the man who invented it. This one is for fans of the Ying Yang Twins, Trick Daddy, and JT Money. Look for a new albumm Lil Jon - called Crunk Rock - sometime in 2007.

• Earth Intruders by Bjork. If you've never hear, Bjork, well, there is really no way to describe her. Think of her old band the Sugarcubes, or maybe a little Goldfrapp, and you're in the neighborhood, but not quite at the right house. In fact, you don't really listen to Bjork as much as you "experience" her. So, then, it's lucky we have this free Bjork download to start you on your Bjork experience. This track is from her new album, Volta, which is in stores now.

March

• Girl in the War by Josh Ritter. You know, being a singer songwriter is one of the hardest jobs in music. So many people try to do it, and so many do it badly - crossing over to gag-me-with-a-spoon overly earnest territory is always one wrong note or one badly formed lyric away. But when it's right, it's REALLY right. Josh Ritter gets it right. This Iowa ballad man gets comparisons to Leonard Cohen all the time - click the link above to find out why.

• Black Mirror by The Arcade Fire. Last year's indie darling crown was decidedly placed on the collective head of Canada's Arcade Fire. Now, they're trying to steal this year's title with their new album "Neon Bible." Will they go for the gold, or are they suffering from sophmore album disorder? Download the track above, and you decide.

• Remember the Name by Fort Minor. Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park fame drops the "rock" part of the rock-rap blend of music Linkin Park creates for the chance to let his hip hop skills stand on their own. With a little help from respected rappers like Black Thought and Common, Shinoda makes you wonder why he ever ventured into rock territory at all. If this one song doesn't convince you, the link above will also take you to two more Fort Minor songs to test drive.

• Ride a White Horse by Goldfrapp. Some people might tell you that Goldfrapp is electronica, but don't you believe it. Or rather, you can believe it, but don't let that scare you off if you're not an electronica lover. The real story is, Goldfrapp's electro-pop appeals to everyone from 80s pop fans to dance music fans and anything in between. This song has a foot placed squarely in the New Order-esque camp, but lucky you - if you follow the link above, you'll get to sample ten more Goldfrapp songs, so you can see which Goldfrapp incarnation is the one for you.

• Lively Up Yourself by Bob Marley and the Wailers. This popular track has resurfaced on a new collection of tracks that Lee "Scratch" Perry produced for Bob Marley and the Wailers. I know what you may be thinking...ANOTHER Bob Marley compilation? Do we need it. In a word - yes. Having all of the tracks that these two musical masterminds produced together in one place is very impressive indeed, and there is no escaping the fact that Marley is one of the most influential and important musicians, ever. If you're just having a Bob Marley awakening, this link will take you 12 other Marley songs as well. If this puts you in a reggae state of mind, check out our Free Reggae Music Downloads article.

• That's My Kind of Woman by George Strait. There has been a lot of discussion on the LTK Music country page about Shania Twain and Faith Hill recently. Is Faith a mere pretender to Shania's country pop queen throne? Can you talk country without talking Shania? While you ponder these questions, check out this track from one of the ladies chart topping country compatriots, and if you want to weigh in on the debate, visit our Country Music profile.

• Smile by Lily Allen. We've featured a free download from Lily Allen before, but considering that this snarky popstress will be burning up this stages at this week's SXSW music festival and conference in Austin, TX, we think she deserves another outing. Catchy hooks and laugh out loud lyrics, Lily Allen makes the kind of music nearly everyone can agree on. Follow the link to download this track, and while you're there, you can actually stream the entire album. Enjoy!

• SXSW Festival starts today, and if you're lucky enough to find yourself in Austin with an All Access pass in your hot little hands, this is one of the bands you may stumble across. Not content with the critical acclaim he received for Blur, and then Gorrilaz, Damon Albarn has gone looking for success all over again with this new project, The Good, The Bad and The Queen, which also happens to feature Paul Simonon of The Clash and Danger Mouse. Definitely worth a spin.

• Recognize a Player by Boss Hogg Outlawz. Boss Hogg Outlawz are presented to you by their fellow H-Town (Houston, for the uninitiated) resident, Gold Album holder Slim Thug. Like most places where there is a music "scene," there is a particular sound to Houston hip hop that makes it immediately recognizable (see also Paul Wall), and Boss Hogg Outlawz represent that sound to the fullest. The rhymes may be a little shaky, but the beats make this track worth a listen. A warning to our younger readers - this song contains explicit lyrics.

• Y Mas Gan by Sinead O'Connor. In honor of St. Patrick's Day, we bring you this song by one of the most recognizable names in Irish music (you know, after U2). Never mind that Sinead O'Connor now plays reggae music - that just keeps things more interesting. If you need some traditional Irish tunes to celebrate today, give our Free World Music Downloads article a try. If Ms. O'Connor has put you in a reggae state of mind, visit Free Reggae Music Downloads to get your Irish/Caribbean fusion party started.

• Rehab by Amy Winehouse. Goodbye, SXSW - the music convention ended yesterday, and one of the stand out stars of the week was Ms. Amy Winehouse. A combination of old time chanteuse vocals and heaps of modern attitude, Amy Winehouse is one to watch. She is already a star in her native UK, and now she's out to conquer the US. She just might do it. Amy Winehouse is on tour now, so keep an eye out for her in your town.

• I'm a Flirt by R. Kelly featuring T.I. and T Pain. The thing with R. Kelly is, you like him or you don't like him, but you definitely can't look away. And here again, R. Kelly brings it like no else can. This track his from his 10th album, TP 3. Reloaded, and to call it an album is really a bit unfair. It's more like an experience than an album (and luckily, the disc comes with all five chapters of the mind boggling music video epic Trapped in a Closet that turned R. Kelly into some sort of R&B equivalent of Meat Loaf - see how it all turned out!). Love him or hate him, in the world of R&B, there is R. Kelly, and then there is everyone else, and thanks to guest appearances by the likes of T.I., this is one more R.Kelly moment you won't be able to turn away from.

• Each Year by Ra Ra Riot. Ra Ra Riot are one of the new breed of indie rockers operating the Arcade Fire vein, but unlike mere pretenders they bring a little something of their own to the table. Expect lots of strings and lots of "big" sounds - and also expect to be hearing a lot more about this group in the future. Be the first one to get in on the action and follow the link.

• Misery is a Butterfly by Blonde Redhead. If you've never heard Blonde Redhead before, the easiest point of reference to give you is the mighty Sonic Youth, but surely Blonde Redhead must be tiring of this comparison. Sure, Blonde Redhead's first albums were on the SY Smells Like Records label, and sure the driving, distorted guitars have SY written all over them, there is something altogether a little more melodic going on here. But don't take our word for it. Come up with your own Blonde Redhead soundalike ideas by following the link above, where you won't only get to download this song but six others as well.
