1 Lali Puna : B-Movie
158 bpm. Straighforward, driving 4/4 time. Distorted synth/samples and detached female vocals define what's original about indie rock.

3 Blur : Coffee and TV
129 bpm. Very Dandies-style pop, except cool and, well, Blur just got there first. The more Dandies influences I hear, the less I think of them.

4 Ambulance Ltd : Stay Tuned
118 bpm. A rehash of the original British invasion, Ambulance doesn't get very good press. I don't care. I say keep double-timing with them claps and tamborines.

7 Wilco : Hummingbird
139 bpm. Folk-rock ballads don't have a super-consistent tempo, especially when your name is "Wilco". The piano keeps everyone mostly in line when it's playing.

9 Blonde Redhead : Equus
140 bpm. Disco beat and bass line, but there's nothing disco at the heart of Blonde Redhead. What an influential ablum! Anyone hear Yeah Yeah Yeahs?

11 Kings of Convenience : Love is no Big Truth
145 bpm. Artificial detachment from one's own heart - ironic, considering the steady pulse of the drums. What a classic song about love for hipsters.

15 The Strokes : Evening Sun
125 bpm. One of a handful of tracks to salvage off a terrible album. "Go your seperate way now / Someday you'll come back and I'll be / Dreaming I was sunburned / I don't wanna break your / Break your heart in two halves / Keep one half and give one half to me"
