More great songs from people/bands that I've never heard of (or that I've long forgotten): Yea, you can't hear the whole song by following these links, but if you like the taste they provide, you can go to Pandora and start a new station based on the song. It's cake.

• "How The Story Goes", by The Red Walls
  
  I was really struck by how much this singer sounds like John Lennon. You might consider it a blatant Lennon ripoff, and I'm sure they'd nod "yes, of course it is." But it's good, and that's what matters.
• "Packing Blankets", by Eels
  
  I had completely forgotten about this incredibly underrated group.
• "Fin", by Supergrass
  
  I vaguely recall seeing a Supergrass video in the mid-90's and liking it but not enough to investigate further. I then forgot they existed until Todd knocked me over the head with a series of songs from their latest album. This band's song craft and sense of melody is astonishing. Meanwhile, the radio continues to feed the masses shit.
• "Go Now April", by 63 Crayons
• "Mantra", by The Lovetones
• "Rifles", by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
