Luisa's Bones by Crooked Fingers
Headphones by I'm from Barcelona
Furr by Blitzen Trapper (video shared here)
Other mixes in the works: (if you have suggestions for...)

Enjoy!!
I've been lovin' Ingrid Michaelson's "You and I" lately.
Wild Light's California On My Mind is great but the lyrics may make your ears blush. Depends on your tolerance for the f bomb. The video version is clean ....
so crazy that you posted this because i JUST bought walking on a dream last night from itunes and love it! my other favorites are "listomania" by phoenix, "surrender" by metric and "Dreamworld" by rilo kiley!
I just made a mixed CD of Springtime Tunes- isn't it fun to have a theme as you arrange your favorites? Here's the playlist:

The last album I really loved I found in Feb. It's the latest Little Joy album. Lovely! I always look for new music. Thanks for sharing yours.
currently loving "girlfriend" by phoenix and some remixes by breakbot too http://www.myspace.com/dothefunkybot.
also, have you ever heard of firekites http://www.myspace.com/firekites?
MUST check out Coeur De Pirate for the "Always sounds better in French"
here are a couple more:
fitz and the dizzyspells/andrew bird
honey, please/the tragically hip
story problem/the envy corps
war on machines/blitzen trapper
I've really been digging Couer de Pirate and Autumn Sky lately, she's like a happier Jolie Holland...check out her music here, at http://www.myspace.com/autumnskymyspace
Check out Benton Paul's song Paris for your french mix. The chorus is in French. It's beautiful.
Check here for a quick listen

I just have to add another big "YES" to the loveliness of Coeur de Pirate. When I heard her album a while back, I was so happy to realize it was everything I had been needing from an album for a long time. Also (this may not fit into any of the playlists), in case you don't already know Beirut, I recommend him wholeheartedly (especially if you're feelin' the travel bug :) ). Oh, and when I want to feel upbeat, anything by the Polysics works like magic (their "My Sharona and "I My Me Mine" are awesomely nuts).
walking on a dream is such a fantastic song.
you don't have a clue - royksopp. actually that whole album is fantastic.
Well, NOW I'm pleasantly entrenched in the Empire of The Sun album. Very nice. Prior to that it was Blue October's latest album "Approaching Normal" which is equal parts bliss and disturbing catharsis.
