I’ve got six new music selections for you today. Not all of it is exactly “new” though.

1. Act of God - Ding Dong King Kong Sing Song. As today is my brother James’ birthday, I thought it was fitting to start with a song he wrote several years ago for his former band, Act of God. My brother and his friend Warren played guitar with a drum machine providing the beats. Made for interesting concerts. They’ve since switched things up and now call themselves Golden Axe (named after the video game). My brother is on drums and Warren is on guitar. You can check them out at their MySpace.

2. Teddybears (feat. Iggy Pop) - Punkrocker. This song isn’t really anything super special, but the chorus is catchy and it’s been stuck in my head for the last couple weeks.

3. Editors - Smokers Outside The Hospital Door. New song from Editors.

4. Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabate - Monsieur Le Maire De Niafunk&eaccute;. Just to change things up. Plus, I really enjoy it.

5. Cinematic Orchestra - As The Stars Fall.

6. Cut Chemist (feat. Hymnal) - What’s the Altitude?
