1- Canadian/Albertan/Calgarian Chad VanGaalen from his recent Sub Pop debut Infiniheart: Clinically Dead (MP3).
2- From Sweden, the wonderful Jens Lekman from last year's Rocky Dennis EP: Rocky Dennis' Farewell Song to the Blind Girl (MP3).
3- Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros from Global a Go-Go: Johnny Appleseed (MP3).
4- Sultry chanteuse Jesse Sykes and her band the Sweet Hereafter from their most recent, Oh, My Girl: The Dreaming Dead (MP3).
5- A non-album track from Nic Armstrong & the Thieves from the UK: If We Can't Escape, My Pretty (MP3).

Enjoy. Rinse. Repeat.
