Fearless
By The Bravery
I first heard this song on the trailer for the awesome Russian vampire movie Nightwatch. It's a rocking little song that I originally thought was about sitting around pretending to be tough, but generally being clumsy (hence probably why I connected with it...) but really, I'm pretty sure its about nothing at all.
But still, you can't beat the cockiness of a line like: "And I know that's why you love me, Chicka"...
Letter From An Occupant
By The New Pornographers
I've had the pleasure of seeing Canada's foremost super group play live before and its pretty damn cool... They are made up of seven musicians from popular bands (in Canada I guess... I don't really know any of the bands they are from:S) and one independent film-maker. It makes for a crowded stage, but it also mean some rather large and full sounds. Its kind of like the opposite of the Arcade Fire, also Canadian, and I'd like to see them battle each other to the death in some kind of musical/gladiatorial combat.
Either that, or join together to form an even larger and more ridiculous stage band. And then save the world from aliens and SARS.
Sorry About The Noise

Despite their easily recognizable pop culture reference name, I don't really know that much about this Norwegian band... Except that I thought they were a small American indy band that never mand it too big. But in actual reality they released 4 albums and are pretty well known in Norway.
It just goes to show that Eurovision is not a good indication of music is actually like in Europe.
