Track Six by The Gaslamp Killer
(found on Paul White's Similar Artist Radio)
(what should be a full track, but is persistently only a sample track streaming here)
this track switches up between gypsy caravan, 70s suave, turn tablism, and other random good things

it does the looping repetitive thing, but there are rewards for the patient. fairly intense.
unexpected ending.

I love love love love the percussion. I'm not so pleased with the buzzing tone that sounds periodically, nor the warbley vocals that waver in and out of the background. Are the drums worth it? Could someone edit that annoying bits out?

electronic with acoustic guitar, cute elements without being a cutesy song
Surfing off the Coast of Mexico by Paul White

I bookmarked this at work, and now I can only revisit it on this ridiculously short sample to try and describe it. The beat caught me. I have been checking out a lot by this artist recently and enjoying it quite a bit.

this would be a good song to listen to while laying out on a hillside, possibly sampling a few blades of grass to chew
Amiss by The Long Lost

one of those songs that is repetitive, but in its looping way it creates something wonderful. how it can also be both sad and chipper, is another strange phenomenon.
Update: purchased this cd on my trip to Bloomington. we tried to listen to it on the car ride back, but the speakers didn't play any of the midtones, which it turns out are essential for the cohesiveness of these songs.

the vocalists make me smile when they get warbley on the high notes.
they remind me of protest song singers. they rhythms are simple and
strong.
Sunday Driver by The Limp Twins

this track would be pretty unremarkable if it weren't for the eerie tone in the vocals
Badder Badder Schwing (feat. Fatboy Slim) by Freddy Fresh

jazzy downtempo. addictive like Mr. Scruf'f's Get a Move On

once you get through the unpleasantly disjointed intro, you find youself in a really interesting bit of percussion, and then the bass kicks in to round it all out. Stick with this track through the uneasy patches and you will be rewarded.
Last Night by Me&You

the samples that they chopped up for this track remind me of The Andrews Sisters' Rum & Coca Cola and Harry Belafonte's Jump in the Line

fun funky track for Dana. nothing ground breaking, but still worth a listen.

a long instrumental track. interesting and varied percussion. kept me moving moving moving at work today.

very chilled out. i could have done without the retro-vocals, though.

more rolling, energetic music to be the soundtrack to your productivity

sounds at first like an ethereal track, but then a baseline comes in to change the dynamic

your picnic is being narrated by a slightly stuff Brit

chill trip-hop with an astronauts-blast-off-from-India feel

Indian music sounds remixed. I am a sucker for this sort of thing.

Always a good time with Blockhead. The organ?/synth? reminds me of old school Sesame Street for some reason.

this guy doesn't have the greatest voice, but the track is very dance-worthy
Good Ole Blues (Instrumental) by Josh
**This is probably not by the Indian fusion band, but some other random Josh. Couldn't find any proper info on him**

you may like this track if you appreciated the theme song for The Letter People
Song to the Siren by Susheela Raman

woman with guitar. this track is really only interesting if you have heard the original This Mortal Coil version (goth ambient) of this song and liked it. susheela has changed the feel slightly, but otherwise stayed close to the original.
(This Mortal Coil version streaming here)
beware the long, quiet intro

if there was an Indian music parade, I would like to be dancing and hopping and possibly festively stomping behind this float
