Baby, it will all soon come to an end
The Honorary Title - Bridge and Tunnel
Jarrod Gorbel is amazing. His earlier stuff with his band Honorary Title sounds younger but it's still worth listening to. Reminds me of Oasis.

Show me the right way to go.
Coldplay - Spies
Coldplay has become one of my favourite bands within an extremely short period of time. Like, within a week? Amazing. I used to be one of those people who were all "Coldplay? Ugh. Next song please", but now after actually sitting my butt down to listen to them, I find their music extremely enchanting. Everything just flows so effortlessly. His voice is so smooth and distinctly Chris Martin that only Coldplay can play Coldplay songs. Nobody could cover them better. Plus, they write really good lyrics. And you know how I feel about lyrics. They matter. Hella lot.
Coldplay - Sparks
BTW does anyone agree with me that their first album is the best? Really, really good stuff here.

You've done nothing at all to make me love you less.
Barcelona - Come Back When You Can
Piano based bands should get more credit for their work. I mean, come on, compared to all the autotuned stuff we get on the radio? These bands actually write their own stuff and play instruments. Not many artists do that nowadays. Invasion of the computer mixers. And Black Eyed Peas. Not forgetting T-Pain. Eheh.
Bang you're dead dead, alouette, here's your silhouette.
Mark Ronson - Bang Bang Bang
I love this guy! Post-modern funk infused with R&B, pop, big band and whatever sounds good. I've heard this song a really long time ago and have always wanted to download it. But I didn't know who sang it or what was the title of the song. I only knew the 'bang bang'. So I Youtubed and tada! I should've known Mark Ronson was the genius behind this. Found myself tapping to the beat a few seconds into the song.
Mark Ronson feat. Amy Winehouse - Valerie
Found this great remix. I sense a Jamaican vibe. Nice.
Ghostface Killah, Nate Dogg & Mark Ronson - Ooh Wee
And this is my favourite! Love the clinking glasses in the background. And the synth bass is cool. Listen now. Please and thankyou (:

I know we can't slow down; we can't hold back.
Cage the Elephant - Ain't No Rest For The Wicked
The guitar is friggin' sick in this one. Kinky but it has a certain funky edge to it which makes me love it even more. It's so alternative it doesn't even belong in the category. And I quote a fellow Youtuber's comment,
'Cage the Elephant has somehow crossed four genres and made their music badass'.

Your smile is a beautiful lie.
Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina - Stereo Love
Great song. Clubs will definitely still be playing this ten, maybe even twenty years from now. There's another version with Mia Martina but I prefer the bass in this one. Loud like Boomz.

She is love, and she is all I need.
Parachute - She Is Love
They've been around for quite sometime now. Got their album when it first came out and I must say it's pretty good. Mellow, but not too mellow till you feel like you're high or something. Aha. Lyrics to me, are just as important as the music (but I'm aware the general public are into songs about explosive devices and partying? so what's up with that) Anyway, these guys get everything right, down to their choice of words.
Parachute - Under Control
And here's something a little more uplifting.
How do you even slap a mannequin? ;)
