Okay, now look. That excellent bunch of songs from Raven Sings the Blues I pointed you towards last week was only part of the rich haul there. I really like these next ones, too, but not all poppers will. Some of them are very psychy and garagy and weird and stuff, so you've been caveated.

Jacuzzi Boys - Island Avenue - Raven Sings the Blues
Jay Reatard - An Ugly Death - Raven Sings the Blues - The keys in the chorus unlocked it for me. - Scroll down to #5.
Blank Dogs - Ants - Raven Sings the Blues - Sometimes psychers weaken great songs with a bit too much distortion. (Also sprach Pop Wimp pplist) - #6

Them - Walking in the Queen's Garden - Raven Sings the Blues
Nodzzz - Is She There & I Can't Wait - Raven Sings the Blues - low-fi pop
