November 06:
1. Boom Boom - Daler Mehndi
Let the mayhem begin! Daler always delivers on music just crazy enough to be funny, but serious enough to be catchy.
2. Set It Off - Skindred
Keep the party going with this well mixed batch of reggae-metal.
3. Le Disko - Shiny Toy Guns
These guys are definitely my Artist of the Month. The latest in this decades "dance-rock" craze.
4. Headspin - Rock Star: Supernova
Though no as fun as Marty's "Trees", this may be the best song to come out of Rockstar yet.
5. Darshan - Tracy Scott Silverman
Here's a nice relaxing interlude....and a great transition into the next song.
6. Mad World - Michael Andrews
Whether you know it from "Donnie Darko" or "Gears of War", this tender remake is certain to put you in a tragic mood.
7. Welcome To The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
Is this the title track to a "rock masterpiece"? Probably not, but it's catchy none the less (same goes for the album)
8. Paper Shoes - Incubus
Incubus is back with more great tunes! Here's one of them.
9. We Are Pilots - Shiny Toy Guns
You've seen the sleazy side of STG, but before you hide them from your girlfriend give this heart-felt song a listen.
10. The Dead Parade - Rock Star: Supernova
And just like that the "parade" lyric is saturated. But that doesn't stop this song from rocking. I had to put this up because it features a choir of our favorite final four.

Honorable Mentions (tracks not on Rhapsody):
1. OMC - MC Chris
MC Chris proves to be "not just a nerd rapper" but an ambassador for the next generation of suburban hip-hoppers.
2. Just Get Up and Dance (Remix) - Afrika Bambaataa
I've only heard a looping fraction of this song, but even that truely impressed me. A full cut eludes me to this day. http://chrono.ytmnd.com/
3. Amazon River - Philip Glass/Uakti
I bought the album, "Aguas da Amazonia", after hearing a few tracks from it at an Eastern dance show. This track wasn't one of them, but stands out to me as the most inspirational, conjuring a style somewhere between my favorites, Muse and Incubus.
