1. Ra Ra Riot -- Dying Is Fine
They maybe this year's Clap Your Hands Say Yeah-type of band that lives up to their hype. This is from their debut EP...their new album The Rhumb Line came out two weeks ago.
2. Kings of Leon -- Sex on Fire
This is the first single from the new album Only by the Night [out September 23rd] which is currently leading my list of best album covers of the year.

Along with their first single from their new album, the Cold War Kids also have some older EP tracks that are complementary.
4. Daniel Knox -- Be Afraid
This song could have been on Anthony & the Johnson's last album...Think of Antony [with a much deeper voice] crossed with Dean Martin...
5a. The Shones -- Don't Look Down
5b. The Shones -- Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow
When I am listening to The Shones I am hearing Nico fronting Garbage. It's up to you if you find that a great idea. I do. "Will You Still..." is not a Carole King/Shirelles cover unfortunately.
