Once Upon A Time In The Arcade Fire
My Body is a Cage
I know you probably saw this already but it's a lovely song and my pick for best video of the year (well, best of the 6 or 7 videos I saw this year)

Sumatran pop song
Just thought I'd add this because you've probably heard the Panda Bear song already. He has been, after all, very hip for the last few years (daddio).
So this is a song from Sublime Frequencies - Folk and Pop Sounds of Sumatra Vol.1
The sound quality might not be the best because I just recorded it while it was streaming. I have the record somewhere, but I'm not sure where it is, and I just stumbled upon it now...so give it a spin.

Comfy In Nautica from Person Pitch
I saw him perform this live a few months back. Unfortunately it was totally boring. The album is great though

Marianne Faithfull
Who Will Take My Dreams Away
performed by Marianne Faithfull, but written by Angelo Badalamenti.

as an aside...
This is quite an interesting radio programme on the nature of music.
You should subscribe to the weekly Radiolab podcast; it's really good.

Asa-Cang and Junray
Hana (m4a)
I have definitely played this to you before, but it's worth sending again just because it's one of the most amazing songs I've heard.
By chance I came across the video today:
Here's a quote from the site that had posted the video:
"It should jar, but it doesn't. Instead, a whole new way of marrying voice to sound opens up, and -- without sacrificing warmth and empathy at all -- instantly makes more trad songsmithery look like fusty hackwork."
I can't say it any better than that.
