whyeskimosnowToday's playlist kicks off with one of the best songs of 2009 from one of the best albums of 2009, "The Blackest Purse" from Why?'s long-awaited release, Eskimo Snow, which officially drops tomorrow, September 22. Also featured is a recent single from Why? recorded with the band Themselves.

Following Why? is the title song from The Pains of Being Pure At Heart's new EP Higher Than The Stars. Next up is a London teen band - and latest buzz band from UK - known as The XX with their song "Basic Space," off their debut LP due out tomorrow, and their new cover version of a Womack Womack tune.

Guster
chimes in with a cover version of Belle & Sebastian's classic indie pop song "Boy With the Arab Strap." Also check out an acoustic alternative take from Beck's Modern Guilt, and a Beck cover of a classic Velvet Underground song.

Plus, check out fresh tracks from new releases by French garage rockers Jack of Heart and songs from Fool's Gold, Hunters Run!, The Mary Onettes, First Rate People, The Music Tapes, Hallelujah the Hills, The Get Up Kids, Rollercoaster Project, Panther, Forro in the Dark, Will Hoge, Beaujolais and more.
