Hey! I wanted to start a thread of favorite songs from bands that are CONFIRMED on FFF 2009. I'm hoping people not familiar with all of the acts can have a pre-festival listen to some of the best tunes available.
Ok so now I'm falling in love with Face To Face:
The entire Don't Turn Away album is freaking brilliant.
There is not enough rap/hip-hop on these lists:

I think you should listen to anything by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, because seeing them live kinda kills it. Last time I saw them he literally sang into a megaphone that was aimed at a mic; this was a horrible effect.
I also just saw Chuck D do Maching Gun on stage with Portishead at ATP NJ - Mind = Blown.
here are a few picks:
orange
m83- raconte-moi hostoire
girls- alex
cloud nothings- you're not that good at anything
the joy formidable- whirring
clap your hands say yeah- satan said dance
black
murder city devils- hey sailor
thee oh sees- castiatic tackle
ty segall- so alone
black lips- oh katrina
shapes have fangs- rattle and confuse me
blue
neon indian- 6669 (i don't know if you know)
del- mistadobalina
baths- maximalist
cold cave- love lets go
purity ring- ungirthed
yellow
every song by turquoise jeep. so good :)
"eat shit- 20 trillion flies can't be wrong!"
The World/Inferno Friendship Society - Paul Robeson or Zen and the Art of Breaking Everything in This Room or The Disarming Smile
