This is the fourth article in a six-part retrospective of the Skins soundtrack. You can find part 1 here, part 2 here, and part 3 here. You can also listen each of these playlists at our Spotify page. As we look back on Series 4's most memorable tunes, I'd also...
This is the third article in a six-part retrospective of the Skins soundtrack. You can find part 1 here and part 2 here You can't talk about Skins without talking about the music. By the time Series 3 hits, the show had already established itself as a launchpad...
This is the second article in a six-part retrospective of the Skins soundtrack. You can find part 1 here. Skins was a teen drama series in the UK that ran from 2007 to 2013 - think a more edgier, sexier version of Degrassi or a predecessor to Euphoria (which I...
Happy International Women's Day! Since it's a day to celebrate all women, we're making this day as a reason to feature one of our favourite female musicians - Caroline Polachek. After we've featured some of her music here, I'm pretty sure if you're not already a fan...
via Adobe Stock Did you know that the last time I did one of these lists was in 2010? Way before listicles were a trend, and way back when blogs where a thing, we had List Addicts Fridays where I'd list down 5 or more songs that thematically, had something in...
This is the first article in a six-part retrospective of the Skins soundtrack. The past week, I decided I would finally watch Euphoria and binge-watched the first season. My FOMO (fear of missing out) was acting up since I've been seeing all the hype for it. I...
This song reminds of one of my all-time favourite 90s TV series - The Adventures of Pete and Pete. If you've ever watched the show or love that show for that matter, it'll give you that 'Hey Sandy' vibes. Whether or not The Hannah Barberas were influenced by a...
We may have begun our Christmas countdown with a break-up song and some mellow tunes, but today, we're lifting up the Christmas spirit with the song of the day - Twelve Days of Christmas by Brighton indie pop band the Popguns. This comes from this year's WIAIWYA...
They've just wrapped up their Hannukah shows this December 5 - playing Christmas songs nonetheless. So we're featuring Yo La Tengo for today's indie Christmas countdown. The track comes from Yo La Tengo's 2002 album 'Merry Christmas From Yo La Tengo'. Originally done...
For Day 4, we've gone late nineties indie rock with the a song from Low's 1999 Christmas album. As a gift to fans, the Minnesotan band released this 8-track EP and introduced us to the indie holiday staple - Just Like Christmas: Just recently, they played this track...
We go way back when for our Christmas song of the day, in 2008 when all things indie was in vogue and hipster-ism was at its peak. This is NOT a cover of the Mariah Carey song, although, it would've been curious to see how Karen O would've had a go with it. Back when...
Fireside comes to us as a collaboration from three young artists: Tancred, Jenny Owen Youngs and John Mark Nelson. We typically find a lot Christmas song covers this season, but occasionally a nice new holiday tune comes our way and it's hard not to share....
After a 10-year hiatus, theIndieMusicdb.com finally brings back it's annual Christmas Countdown. Since we've been absent for the past couple of years, we're going to feature some songs from the not-so-distant Christmas past - 2017 to be exact. To begin our Christmas...
Fresh from the post is Phoebe Bridgers' cover of Tom Waits 'Day After Tomorrow'. Since 2017, it's been a yearly tradition for Phoebe Bridgers to drop a Christmas tune every year. In 2019, she even collaborated with other artists such as Fiona Apple and The National's...
Beabadoobee might not be a household name yet, but you may have recently heard her voice - albeit a much faster, higher pitched version, in the song "Death Bed (Coffee for Your Head)" by Canadian rapper Powfu. The song currently holds a record of 5 million plays on...
Surprise! We're still alive! I know, I know, it's been ten years since my last post - it would've been lucky eleven, but I just had to push by butt into posting something here. No promises here - I'm not sure when the next post will be, but I figure it will be more...
Because it's a Submarine kind of day and we don't get much Arctic Monkeys music up on this site -- here's Alex Turner with Piledriver Waltz. I suggest renting the film too, it's definitely a pick-me-upper on a cloudy summer day.
If you're wondering why I'm posting the video for that song in that Hyundai commercial, it's because Vancouver's throwing a big party at Stanley Park and The New Pornographers are playing 🙂 They're actually just one of the bands from a long list of performers...
At last something new! Well, new-ish. Although the video might be a year old, it's been more than six months since my last post. I thought I'd throw in something by the Shout Out Louds to hark my return, especially since the first lines in this song rings true to what...
Here's a little bit of trivia for you readers out there: did you know that the first List Addicts was posted way back in 2008 as a New Year's songs list? Bet you didn't know that - and rightly so, since this is practically useless trivia. Putting the year into...
If you were a kid growing up in Britain, you would probably remember a little old animated film called "The Snowman" -- a touching holiday story that's basically an existentialist version of 'Frosty the Snowman'. The Maccabees grew up with it and loved it so much that...
Since it's Christmas Day, we wrap up the Christmas countdown - this year with the Magnetic Fields song Everything Is One Big Christmas Tree. As a band who's been in the business for more than 20 years and has only ever gotten due credit in the last five years, I feel...
Nashville artist Natalie Prass is the newest addtion to your holiday soundtrack this year. The song's got that old-timey vibe, which is perfect background music for my gift-wrapping session tonight with some hot chocolate waiting by my side. It also works well if you...
This song comes from Sounds Familyre's yearly Christmas tradition - A Familyre Christmas, which is now on its third volume. It's available as a free download here, where you can also check out previous albums from the past years. Among the roster of artists in the...
Here is a lovely video from the fine young gentlemen of earcandynewyork.com, taking the art of autotune to its finest, to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. If you haven't checked their site out yet, take a moment to download a couple of their podcasts here which...
To counter any effects that the last post may have in contributing to winter depression... and since I have a reason to celebrate as I turn a year older today - December 21st's Christmas Song of the Day is a sunshiney tune from Berlin retro-band The Jooles. Nothing...
To keep with the holiday theme (as well as get the Christmas countdown going), it's time for List Addicts - The Christmas Edition. This week, we not only have a list of holiday tunes from your favorite up-and-coming indie bands - but we also have some mellowed out...
I'm retro-posting since I wasn't able to get this out yesterday. Nonetheless, this late post is still special since marks the 15th song in the Christmas countdown as well as my little boy Paolo's birthday 🙂 Another thing that's special about this is that it comes...
As anyone who grew up in the eighties can attest - Christmas was better in the 80's. In fact, everything was better in the eighties - especially if you were kid. Back then, your day was complete just getting the latest Game and Watch and finding that Ziggy pencil top...
But fear not, because of the eight day backlog, I come bearing gifts. Not just one, but eight songs that'll bring the Christmas cheer to fill up the eight day absence of our song a day / Christmas countdown. It also comes with a promise (that I plan to keep!) that...
