My picks this month are a result of supreme backlash to all the blog house that's been flooding my senses lately. These ten have all provided a break from the norm for in some way, and I've had most of them on repeat in the past few weeks. Enjoy the eclectic mini-mix.

My list is comprised of some older tracks, many of which I had never heard before. I compiled it one evening by starting with TV on The Radio and clicking 'I like this' on the music player whenever I ran across something interesting.

Guest Picks: culturebully.com

Plan A: Enjoy the playlist which was chosen to reflect some of those rock-type acts that have been featured on Culture Bully in the past two years or so. Plan B: Refuse to listen to the music, and amuse yourself with a goof: "John Kerry walks into a bar. The bartender says, 'Why the long face?'" Plan C: Compromise and enjoy both. -Chris, Culture Bully

Ivy

I impart these songs to you as I would if I was on the cover of Sonic Youth's "Goo"--I'd saunter by all murderous and leather-jacket clad, my sister's boyfriend on my arm, both of us ensconced in a cloud of cigarette smoke. I'd reach into the lining of my jacket and pull out a burnt CD, chuck it at you all "FUCK YOU" and wink, "sample my wares". I don't know. These songs just make me feel that cool.

My substitution for coffee. A caffeine-free way to jolt start your morning, afternoon, or evening. But don't be mistaken, these songs aren't any less addicting than that cappuccino you drink every day.
