Now this is pretty much straight out of left field, but it’s an awesome combination of a few of my favorite things. La Valse d’Amélie song from Amelie + chiptune mix style (meaning it sounds like it came from your Super Nintendo) + Carribean Beat + Jamaican Hip Hop Rap = surprisingly very awesome.

The timing is deliciously odd. Get it at Famous Sounding Words.

Grabbed from the KEXP song of the day. Jamaican flavor with a nice kick to it.

Another offbeat track from the Bravery. Sorry I can’t find these on iTunes or Amazon for you.

A slightly rarer song of The Bravery’s due to it being only released as part of the Sun and Moon album for a short time in 2007 and I can’t seem to find it anywhere other than the wikipedia article. While I do enjoy their main lead singer, this is a nice change. Check it out.

Ah…Beirut. Such a laidback pefect relaxing sound. I love the instruments he puts into play and just adore his music overall.

One of my favorite Format songs ever; you should check it out if somehow you haven’t, otherwise, kick back and listen to an old friend.

A neat uplifting song from one of my favorite little bands, Fanfarlo.

A song that I thought was catchy but slightly over the top, is now much more my style and I’m loving this acoustic version grabbed from The Music Ninja
