Song three on the countdown was the first song of the week for 2009: I am by Novel. I love the lyrics and how in the video each person has a light emanating from their chest/heart area, highlighting the fact that we are all one and that we are more than our bodies. I have replayed this song many times over the year as a way to remind myself of both of those things.
You can visit the original posting of this song for sample song lyrics and more information about the collaboration between Novel and Ben Folds.

Song number eight is Fight Riff by Eula. I like DIY feel of the video, reminiscent of the Clash and other artists from London who used the desert or an industrial wasteland as their set.
Singer Elyse exudes an artistic flair with punk rock edge. It's a fun song with a strong beat and great to have on my iPod and listen to while I'm out for a walk. I recommend purchasing the entire Language of Threat EP. In the meantime, you can see the YouTube video here.
Happy Holidays
How could you not get pumped up with lyrics and beats like this? "Any body who thinks I can't do it no more better step back, I've got the formula!" Listen again anytime you start to doubt yourself.

The Almighty Defenders strike me as a rockabilly gospel band. They dress in gospel choir robes on stage and have an eclectic Elvis, meets bar band, meets Motown sound. I discovered them while listening to XMU. Each time they played Cone of Light, I found myself looking down at the satellite receiver to catch the name of the artist and track. I did this enough times that it finally stuck. I came home, looked them up on iTunes and knew I would not be satisfied until I owned this entire album and could play it whenever and wherever I wanted.
