Spinning
A couple of tunes, if you're interested...
Machine Translations - No Hip
Machine Translations - She Wears a Mask
Roisin Murphy - Ruby Blue
The Wrens - This Boy is Exhausted
The first is neat - a computer generated voice provides the vocals.
The second Machine Translations song is more upbeat, more tuneful...actually quite catchy, and I like it more.
I LOVE Ruby Blue, I don't even know how to describe it. Groovy is the only word I can think of. And extremely danceable if you enjoy dancing to that sort of music. It was featured on Grey's Anatomy.
The Wrens song is also fairly upbeat, and less whiny than the other songs that I listen to by the Wrens. More of an "easy listen" I suppose.
But that's just me.
Enjoy.
Also, you should check out the 2006 Pitchfork Music Sampler which Jack talked about. It's excellent and I've discovered that you don't actually need to be an emusic subscriber to listen to/download the tunes. That is, however, neither an endorsement of or lack of endorsement of downloading music without the subscription.
Cheers.

Hmmm. No, I take it back. "Whiny" was the wrong word. More like the chords and instrumentals they use typically have a sort of...angsty? alienated? "put you a little on the edge"?...feel. Or at least that's what I get from it.

I think the Wrens are kinda whiny. I really, really like them. But I think they're whiny.
"Its been so long
since you've heard from me
got a wife and kid
that I never see
and I'm nowhere near
what I dreamed I'd be
i can't believe
what life has done to me"
I mean, come on.
(but they are great...)
