Explorer 23 For March 1st

It's back! Every ten days a new list there will be.

01 The Walkmen - While I Shovel The Snow
Snow won't be falling anymore this year, the Walkmen melancholy sounds will make it melt

02 Radiohead - Lotus Flower
Thom Yorke can also dance, if the entire new album is like this another classic

03 The Vaccines - Wreckin' Bar
Name a better song this year that clocks in under a minute and a half

04 Does it offend you, Yeah? - Monkeys are coming
Don't you love videos that start with a guy cutting his nose hair?

05 Cold War Kids – Louder Than Ever
A band with their own sound and a kickass chorus.

06 Bright Eyes – Shell Games
Conor can write songs, didn’t you know that already?

07 Black Keys – Howlin’ For You
The song gets a little snowed under in this video that looks more like a trailer.

08 British Sea Power - Living Is So Easy
Or why Valhalla Dancehall might be the best album of 2011 so far

09 Crystal Fighters – At Home
Seriously cool Spaniards

10 Hercules and Love Affair - My House
Early 90’s house with video to match

11 Sleigh Bells – Rill Rill
So did she kill the guy?

12 Lupe Fiasco – The Show Goes On
Any hiphopper sampling Modest Mouse should always be in the list.

13 Smith Westerns – Weekend
3 guys with axes go shopping

14 Frankie & The Heartstrings – Hunger
Jack Morgan strokes cats and likes good music

15 The Streets – Going Through Hell
Is this really the end of the Streets? Sad day.

16 MF/MB/ - Seconds Away
Not a video for people with tree phobias

17 Cloud Nothings - Should Have
Another great 90s shoegaze throwback

18 Manic Street Preachers – Postcards From A Young Man
Ok, these guys have been recording the same song over and over, but why shouldn’t you when the song’s good

19 The Strokes - Under Cover Of Darkness
The Legends return

20 Young the Giant - My Body
Don’t you think the guy in the video looks like The Tallest Man on Earth?

21 The Partysquad & Reverse ft. Gers, Adje & Jayh - Ik Ga Hard
Don’t know why I like this, but I do.

22 Lyrebirds – Now I Know Why
I Don’t know anything about this band, just that I like this song a lot.

23 Cage The Elephant – Shake Me Down
So is the elephant named Cage, or do they want to lock up the animal?
