Music Fix 1: Emily Haines, T&S, Owl City and Lykke Li.

So every Monday or so, I plan on posting a few of my favorite songs at that moment, in hopes of creating a digital anthology of great music.

First up is Emily Haines’ “Our Hell.” She’s the lead singer of Metric, and I stumbled upon this song on Pandora radio. It led me to her 2006 solo effort called Knives Don’t Have Your Back. It’s great, check it out.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that I am head over heels for Tegan and Sara. This is a rare demo of their song “Soil, Soil,” one of my favorite songs off their most recent album The Con, which, in itself, is fantastic. I am SO excited for their next record called Sainthood, which will see release on October 27.

iTunes rarely gives me something I can fall head over heels for, but this week, they released “Fireflies” by Owl City as their free song of the week. The attention from iTunes pushed me to him again, and now this is my jogging song. It’s the lead single from his debut full length called Ocean Eyes

And finally this week is a song that I’ve found myself going back and forth on but finally deciding that I really do love the song. It’s by the Swedish singer Lykke Li, and was released last year on her debut Youth Novels Apparently, it was the big single or something, but I stumbled upon it on Pandora. It’s called “Little Bit.”
