1.) BRMC – Shuffle Your Feet
Kicking it off the right way…right in your teeth!!!! Setting the tone and grabbing your utmost interest…TIME WON’T SAVE OUR SOULS!!!!!!!!!!
2.) Okkervil River – Unless Its Kicks
I can’t put my finger on why I am infatuated with this song. It builds well, the playing is good, but nothing amazing. They synergize by forming some sort of mesmerizing rock haze and end in a classic jam. Listen…and then re-listen…
3.) Spoon – Don’t Make Me A Target
Brit is a genius and I love how they kicked off their last album with this song…brilliant!! Freak Out Man….FREAK OUT!!!
4.) Robert Plant & Allison Krauss – Rich Woman
This song is sexy…the timing is hot…the guitar work by T-Bone Burnett is smoking and the synergy between Krauss and Plant is electric!!!
5.) My Morning Jacket – Cobra
This is not the whole song…but merely the outro with one of the sexiest bass lines of all time. I truly believe MMJ is developing as one of the cornerstones of the future of Rock N Roll…embrace their catalog. The Jacket fits perfect…try it on!!
6.) Gomez – Get Miles
This psychedelic jam is one of my favorite songs to drive to and the lead singer’s voice is mesmerizing…GET MILES AWAY!!!!!!!
7.) Cake – Italian Leather Sofa
This classic Cake ditty features some fantastic lyrics and hot guitar riffs not to mention and avant garde horn solo in the middle…desert is served!!!
8.) Devotchka – Queen Of The Surface Streets
A playful fiddle, insightful/meaningful lyrics…sounds like a gay write-up…it is…but the song is super duper!!!
9.) Alice Smith – Dream
Alice Smith is HOT SHIT…soulful, sexy, and an absolute pleasure to see live…she is the next big female vocalist…mark it dude!!!
10.) Citizen Cope – Brother Lee
Cope’s last album was soooo gooood and he blows this song up in concert and it gets my shoulders rising every time…start grooving!!!!
11.) Editors – Smokers Outside The Hospital Door
This is a monster song…like huge!!! It BLOWS UP and builds so well. Massive leg kick and fist pumps accompany this powerful epic!!!!!!!!
12.) MGMT – Time to Pretend
I must admit, this type of track is somewhat out of my normal level of tunes, but it grabs you and the next thing you know you’re in a club doing X dancing to house all night…what happened?!?!?!?!
13.) Helio Sequence – Keep Your Eyes Ahead
These guys…only two of them…from Portland are bound to make it…they are captivating…check out their entire catalog.
14.) The National – Fake Empire
This song has been lingering in my “list of songs to eventually put on a mix” for a long while…glad it found a home…love the horns.
15.) Beirut – La Banlieu
This band sounds like they should be out of Turkey or some oil field in the Middle East but they are from New York. Did you know they call Beer Pong – Beirut in NY…the name was straightforward, leave it to the band! Cheers!!!
16.) Raconteurs – You Don’t Understand Me
Perfection…the lyrics…the melody…and one of the best piano solos of all time…thank you Jack White, you never cease to AMAZE ME!!!!
17.) Pearl Jam – Present Tense
Eddie and the boys closing the set…a classic rarely celebrated. It makes for sense to live in the present tense.

Nate, we do call beer pong "beirut" back in NY. The reason's simple, when you have the ill arc jump shot, it's like your dropping bombs. Quite simple.
