ARTIST: Foster The People
SONG: Pumped Up Kicks
WEBSITE: fosterthepeople.com
DOWNLOAD: Pumped Up Kicks
I heard this on Chillville a while back and it’s been stuck in my head since. I don’t know a lot about the band and had a difficult timing finding an MP3 to purchase online. Check them out on facebook and at your local record distrubutor.
Sufjan Stevens | BEAT OF THE WEEK
A special Sufjan Double Dip. The man who once ambitiously embarked an a journey to dedicate an album to each state has now given us a national tour, EP and full length- all within a month or so. Relish whilst you can…

Arcade Fire | BEAT OF THE WEEK
A Special Two-Song Beat of the Week featuring the one and only Arcade Fire. The new album The Suburbs drops tomorrow and I got to give it a bit of a listen today. In addition to the amazing single, Ready to Start, four other songs immediately snagged my interest. Here’s two of them:
ARTIST: Arcade Fire
ALBUM: The Suburbs (8/3)
TOUR: Lollapaloza (8/8)
SONG: The Suburbs
SONG: Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros “Home” | BEAT OF THE WEEK
ARTIST: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
SONG: Home
ALBUM: Up From Below
TOUR: Austin- La Zona Rosa (7/6)
DOWNLOAD: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros- Home
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros are definitely a big summer buzz band and after you listen to this track you will understand why. They’ve played many of this summer’s top festivals, been featured in commercials and are currently getting airplay on 101x as Lynn’s staff pick. I first saw them on Letterman and have not been able to get “Home” out of my head since.
Interpol “Lights” | BEAT OF THE WEEK
ARTIST: Interpol
SONG: Lights
ALBUM: Interpol
DOWNLOAD: Interpol- Lights
Interpol is one of my favorite bands and I absolutely dig this track. It harkens back to Turn on the Bright Lights so hipsters should like it too. The forthcoming album should be a good one as well. It is the last with bassist Carlos Dengler, whom many consider to be the face of the band.
Malachai “Snowflake” | BEAT OF THE WEEK
ARTIST: Malachai
SONG: Snowflake
ALBUM: Ugly Side of Love
DOWNLOAD: Snowflake
The New Pornographers | BEAT OF THE WEEK
Beat of the Week: The National
ARTIST: The National
SONG: Afraid of Everyone
ALBUM: High Violet (5/11)
TOUR: Manchester, TN- Bonnaroo (6/10-6/13)
DOWNLOAD: The National- Afraid of Everyone
I’m a big fan of The National but not everyone appreciates Matt Berninger’s slow delivery and deep, even monotone (not my term) vocals. However, the quick pace, trippy chorus and washy vocal effects of the song transcend the band’s norm. Afraid of Everyone should open up The National to a new audience. My prediction: this song will be a big college radio/indie summer hit… maybe more. Enjoy!
Deer Tick “20 Years” | BEAT OF THE WEEK
ARTIST: Dear Tick
SONG: 20 Years
ALBUM: The Black Dirt Sessions (6/08 )
TOUR: Dallas- The Loft (4/30), Austin- Emo’s (5/1), Houston- Warehouse Live Studio (5/2)
I believe I got this one from John at www.sideonetrackone.com. Enjoy!
