Black Grape - Dadi Wuz a Badi
Out of the dust (angel dust?) of the Happy Mondays came Black Grape in the early-mid 90s. And this was always my favorite song by them. Danceable and badass at the same time.

MuteMath - Typical
Yes, this will be on this year's Outer Banks Mix, thus the tag. Quite possibly the first-ever band with a keytar that doesn't suck. Love the video.

Wake Up Song: The Format - First Single
Homemade video of a folky-acousticy song that came out a few years ago. I always liked the hook to this one.

Envelopes - Sister In Love
This is one of those songs I like more and more every new time I hear it. Underground indie stuff makes me smile these days. DIY is not dead yet.

Dirty Pretty Things - You ... Love It
THREE CHORDS AND A CLOUD OF DUST.
I thought of this song when I dropped a pizza tray and it sounded just like the clatter at the beginning of this song. Somebody save me from my brain!

Cover Songs Worth Examining: Spiderbait - Black Betty
OH GEEZUS HELL YEAH THIS VERSION OF BLACK BETTY THUNDERS AND ROARS. IT'S SO DAMN LOUD I HAVE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN READ IT. TAKES THE RAM JAM VERSION OF THE SONG, SHREDS IT INTO LITTLE PIECES AND STUFFS IT DOWN YOUR EAR CANAL SO HARD THAT YOUR SINUSES ARE STILL CLOGGED THREE DAYS LATER.
The original, for comparison's sake:
Cover Songs Worth Examining: Kula Shaker - Hush
Kula Shaker put this one out a few years ago, a reexamining of one of Deep Purple's finer works. I have to say, I think I prefer the cover version, it has more of an attacking, relentless feel to it. For comparison's sake, here's the original (audio only):

Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
I discovered this song on a lazy Saturday afternoon with the now-defunct Mojo channel playing in the background. Downloaded it, put it on the 2008 OBX mix, and now it's in at least three commercials I've seen. I am a music god.
Gabriella Cilmi - Sweet About Me
Take Amy Winehouse, move her to Australia, subtract the drugs and the lunacy, and you'll send up with something like this.

Jim Noir - Eanie Meany
Can't find the remixed version that Adidas used in its World Cup ads in 2006, but this is still solid, hook-laden pop.
LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk is Playing at My house
Another discovery thanks to Subterranean. The guys dressed as the VU meter make this video
Brandston - Earthquakes and Sharks
Audio only. As far as I could tell, no music video exists for this bouncy, fun pop song. Some dude took it and put its audio over a Vanessa Hudgens video. And, after watching it, I find that I don't really mind all that much.
