Starflyer 59 – I Win

Based out ouf Aliso Viejo and having made more  than 10 albums and several EP’s to thier name, Starflyer 59 is relatively unknown.   However, this isn’t because of a lack of quality music.   Their latest album My Island, released last year is a prime example of the a solid album from start to finish.   You can read a review  of it here at Allmusic.com

Stateless – Bloodstream

 

Part Radiohead, part UNKLE, part Coldplay diffused with electronica and clicky-pop-scratch piano chords and you get the picture.

Jim Noir – My Patch

In case this one slipped by you in 05, I’m here to bring it back.   Easily one of the best song of 2005 from one of the best albums of 2005.   “My Patch” is found on the “Tower of Power” album from Jim Noir.Part Beatles, part Beta Band,   part ELO and a Beach Boys (think Pet Sounds) bridge thrown in for good measure and you have the main ingredients for “My Patch”.   This album also produced such hits as, “Eanie Meany, & “Computer Song”.
