Thanks to the musical ear of a man simply known as Kyle, every week Cuzoogle will feature six songs/videos that you should check out. This week Kyle is liking the sounds of Spoon, Los Campesinos!, Modest Mouse, My Morning Jacket, Monade and of course his No. 1 pick.

Creating a Rumpus Edition

6. Spoon, Sometimes I feel guilty for liking “it” bands, but I can’t turn down good pop songs. The animation in this video reminds me of old school South Park meets Monty Python.

5. Los Campesinos!, These guys are one my favourite bands of the last year and I love that they are just as entertaining live and acoustic. I’m still kicking myself for missing them last time they were in Toronto, stupid sleep deprivation!

4. Modest Mouse, A little while after their last album, a video circulated with the lead singer stabbing himself on stage with a bread knife. I got worried that they were going to burn out and quit. Glad I was wrong.

3. My Morning Jacket, These guys have a new album coming out and if it all sounds like this track there’s a guy in Thailand who will be just as happy as me.

2. Monade, If this band reminds you of Stereolab or Slint, your observation would be astute. I’ve been practicing my French lately and this song makes me smile. Thanks to Max’s owner for the heads up.

1. Portishead, I’ve been anxiously awaiting new music from these guys for almost ten years, that’s like a third of my life. It’s been like waiting for a pizza that you ordered and keep calling to find out why it’s not there yet. For me, there’s no such thing as bad pizza or Portishead.
