indie love: we are scientists, mystery jets feat laura marling, amy mcdonald, radiohead, the courteeners

we are scientists - after hours [link 2]
[with their album brain thrust mastery coming out this week, it's really great to see these brooklynites release a fun catchy indie pop song to accompany their welcome return. plus any band that is willing to make their lead singer come off as a d**k is a good thing!]


mystery jets feat laura marling - young love [link 2]
[this post pop act based on the eel pie island off the thames river has crafted a catchy tune and had the forsight to get folkster laura marling to offer up some choice vocals. not quite this season's "young folk", but pretty darn close!]


amy mcdonald - run [link 2]
[she's from glasgow and she's got a really nice thick voice and a wonderful song to boot. um... that's all i have to say about this talent really...]


radiohead - nude [link 2]
[i LOVE their album in rainbows, but i have to admit that this song just relaxes me to the point of sleepy (which is a good thing when you have insomnia like i do! thank you radiohead ;)]


the courteeners - not nineteen forever [link 2]
[manchester hype is in the house. are these guys going to be one of the biggest new acts of 2008? i like this song fine, but i'm wary of the massive attention they are getting so much of. guess i'll have to wait for the album st jude to come out in a few weeks to make my final decision.]
