Downright Dynamite Downloads Of The Week: The Cloud Room, The Shortwave Set, The Flaming Lips…

It’s time again to line your iPod with that sweet aural gold we’ve been giving you so freely the past few weeks. Your sweet smile is payment enough, as would be your credit card information entered into the comments below. We promise to not let anyone not looking directly at your filled out information see it.

This week we’re featuring songs from The Cloud Room, The Shortwave Set, The Flaming Lips, Coheed And Cambria, Ween, and Old Crow Medicine Show. 

You know the rules - we tell you what - you track ‘em down  Good hunting.

The Cloud Room: We Sleep In The Ocean from The Cloud Room
(This is the last track off their self-titled album. They dish out dooh-dooh’s like booze at a bachelor party. We love it.)

The Shortwave Set: Is It Any Wonder from The Debt Collection
(Yeah,
it’s called the debt collection, but we’re told they probably won’t
break your knees. They’re far too busy making very original music.)

The Flaming Lips: The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song…(With All Your Power) from At War With the Mystics
(The
only band in the world to walk on their audience in a giant inflatable
ball. This album isn’t out yet, but the song is, and it may well be
the reason for creation itself.)

Coheed And Cambria: The Suffering from The Suffering
(These
guys are on their own planet. They remind us of an early Weezer that’s
been listening to an absolute ton of Rush. Any minute now they’re
probably gonna write a song about dragons.)

Ween: Exactly Where I’m At from White Pepper
(The
greatest cult band ever. This album is considered a failure to a lot
of Ween fans, but only the dumber ones. We believe this track to have
a firm placing on Ween’s very long list of best songs ever.)

Old Crow Medicine Show: Wagon Wheel from O.C.M.S.
(This song is Blue Grass, and it’s fantastic.  It caused a whole new musical category to be opened on our iPod.)
