A happy Monday to you! Well to be honest, I don’t really know if it will be a great day. It could be snowing where you are. That would be kind of tough, getting to work and all that. But I made this short mix for you today, and I hope you enjoy it.

Real Estate – Out Of Tune

We’ve only put a smattering of the tracks in this post. So for the full listing of songs and downloads, please visit this special separate page within our site: A Brilliant Career: The Best Songs of 2011.

We’ll be posting more songs here during the week as well. Enjoy!

Tom Waits – Raised Right Men

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Tomorrow Dies Today

The Horrors – You Said

They Might Be (Face Palm)

I have been listening to TMBG since their first album, and pretty much love everything they do. Except this cover of Tubthumping. I could understand if it was done as a lark but if it was, it should be much, much shorter. It actually makes me crave listening to the original to get this version out of my head.

TMBG – Tubthumping

THIS is the best cover version of Tubthumping:

Everything Looks Like a Giant Cupcake

Every album has its moment of glory, its moment of truth. This song is M83’s “moment of cute” on Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming.

M83 – Raconte-Moi Une Histoire

The Potential of You & Me

Can it be true? Zooey and Ben are separating? But they look so happy in this picture. At least I think they do. His expression really says slightly bemused more than blissfully happy.

Death Cab for Cutie – I Will Possess Your Heart

There is no love inside the icehouse

It was a bit chilly in the workplace today.

Flowers – Icehouse

Kitten Kisses

The industry worst hit by the economy? Kitten kisses.

Fujiya & Miyagi – Chichikov

Arctic Monkeys – The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala

Tom Waits – Back In The Crowd

Kate Nash – Kiss That Grrrl

Flight of the Conchords – A Kiss Is Not A Contract

The Truth About MTV IDs

The Concept: Check out what great videos you can see on MTV if you keep watching.

The Reality: You can watch Meatloaf maul Karla Devito three times in an hour, but you’ll never see those other videos more than once.

Flowers – We Can Get Together

The Vapors – Jimmie Jones
