Bright, sunny, pop anthem that's so hummable.

"Here's a little song you might like to learn." With a vocal sample that sounds like it's lifted from a 1950's American summer camp counselor, acoustic guitars, synths and horns, the song feels like an advertising jingle for a bright shiny new...retro futuro product. This should be in an iTunes spot.

Instrumental version of track by the same name. Acoustic guitars, synths and horns, the song feels like an advertising jingle for a bright shiny new...retro futuro product. This should be in an iTunes spot.

Singer-songwriter Justin Nihiser and a song about love.

A fabulous blend of acoustic folk pop, with Indian rhythms and percussion, a synthetic bell line and some twangy western guitar. This would work very well in an oh so hip modern day "Western" or an ironic bank holdup scene.

Quirky, modern pop rock that starts with a light and humorous vibe that leads into a big, rocking chorus.

Starts darkly and then moves into a dreamy, jazzy world of the future. Sounds like our "blade runner" Rick Deckard steps into a dark and smoky jazz club of the future. Massive Attack meets Vangelis and some unidentifiable flavor that lingers.

Composer: Paul Scott Mulvey

Experimental alt rock with a solid steady beat.

Guitar grooving alt rock.

A love song. Music with lyrics.

A lilting sort of "Western" folk tale. "I don't want your bloody valentine!"
Acoustic and electric guitar, drums, bass, and voice. Music with lyrics.

Funky, yet solid and slow and full of confidence. It's like a smoother version of the Chem Bros with some Chinese diva riffing in the background. Electric bass, turntable scratching, horn pops, growling Moog synthes and buzzing.

There's something about this track that sounds like Beck went to France and got hooked in with Mirwais.

Happy, groovy, sunshiney light folk-rock music in a retro style a la John Mayer. Acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, handclaps.

laid back, yet energetic, island-y pop-rock with funky reggae components and steel drum

Great drums on an alt rocking track.

Music with lyrics.

Music with lyrics. Bouncy, happy, fun, piano-driven pop-rock. Something about this track reminds me of classic John Sebastian of Welcome Back Kotter fame. Also hints of Bruce Hornsby and the Range.

Guitar-driven backward creating a moody mysterious mix.

Many parts to this very cool electronica etude. Shimmering, stuttering and excited are adjectives that come to mind.

In-your face rock track. Sounds a bit like Blur's song 2.

Exotic, smoky and cool world rock. Afro-French.

Melodic and hard-driving pop rock with plenty of emotion and melodrama. Sounds a bit like the All-American Rejects.

Sounds a lot like Bjork meets Portishead.

Modern rock that has a slightly dark, twisted and uneasy vibe.

Dark, gothic, alt/electronica anthem. Music with lyrics.

Feel-good upbeat positive and optimistic electronica.

Alternative electronica.

Quirky 60's pop rock with a modern spin. Twangy guitars add to the groovy, retro vibe.

Acoustic rock ballad. Music with lyrics.

Music with Lyrics. Super-radio friendly rockin' country anthem that sounds like a cross between Sheryl Crow and Shania Twain. By Warner Recording artist Kelly Brock.

Mid-tempo acoustic guitar driven rock. Mood is positive.

Composer: Robert Sadowski

Electronica by way of acoustic guitar. Chillout and cool with a buildup to a funky slapping slack tuned guitar. Very cool.

Music with Lyrics. Light, piano-driven pop-rock with influences from folk, and art rock like Coldplay.

Warm and lovely acoustic guitar strumming along in an indie pop way.
