Peter Bjorn and John's album "writers block" has been in my rotation for a long time. "Amsterdam" "Paris 2004" and "Young Folks" are probably my favorites off the album.

I also feel the need to include I'm From Barcelona's "We're from barcelona" hell their whole EP is too catchy for it's own good.

and also New Pornographers "Jackie Dressed in Cobras"...since I'm listening to it right now.

I had no idea you were a Hoodoo Gurus fan, but it makes sense.

I Want You Back is easily one of the greatest pop songs for me ever.


I saw this & thought of the Hoodoo Gurus song of the same title; could fit.

And Todd, figured you'd say The La's -- There She Goes. It would sure go on my list.
