Here's my choice for Laura's and Auré's songs:
Laura: - José González - Crosses - Louise Attaque - Manhattan - Komeda - It's Alright, Baby Auré: - Air - Electronic Performers - Sigur Ros - Untitled 8 (Popplagid) - Louise Attaque - J'temmène au vent Gwen, I like The International Sound.  Oh, and Denise, love your signature. 'Romeo and Juliet' is such a pretty song. Have you ever listened to The Killers' version? It's great!  __________________

Yeah, I did! 'Supersonic' is the title of a song by Oasis.  And now this board is moderated by two 'super': Supersonic and Supergirl!  __________________

 I actually got to know the song by The Killers. Until my dad was like: Hey that's from the Dire Straits. And he's a huge fan of them so made me listen to that version. I like that version as well, but it doesn't beat The Killers' version.Edit: I just realised that was David lol. I like your new username  __________________

Yeah, I got to know the song by The Killers too. I wouldn't say I think it's better than the Dire Stairs version because to me a good cover must bring something new to the song and The Killers' version is really beautiful, but it just sounds pretty much the same as the original version, you know? But I must confess, I listen to The Killers' version more than the original version. I guess that's because it sounds more contemporary. Thanks. And just in case you guys are wondering who the hell is this guy who appeared from nowhere, I'm David, you guys! __________________

That's true what you say about a cover though. I mostly feel the same too. But I listened to the live version of the Dire Straits' version as well and I didn't really like it. So that was also one of the reason why I listen to The Killers' version more lol.
I think it's time for a recommendation again MySpace.com - Ida Maria - Stockholm/Nesna, NO - Indie / Rock / Punk - www.myspace.com/idamaria Ida Maria. She's an indie singer for Sweden. I really like her music __________________

Don't we have all the votes from everybody now? Can't we make the album now then?

Once Auré posts her choices, we can list all the songs that made it to the CD and then we can discuss it.
What about the title? Do you guys all agree with Gwen's suggestion of 'The International Sound'? __________________

Okay, I just finished counting. The results (songs that made it to the CD are in bold):
Brightlights: Mew - The Zookeeper's Boy - 5 Girls in Hawaii - Bored - 4 Maximilian Hecker - Dying - 4 Malajube - La Monogamie - 2 Jens Lekman - A Postcard to Nina - 3 josebajm: Vampire Weekend - Mansard Roof - 6 Animal Collective - Water Curses - 3 Arcade Fire - Une Année Sans Lumiere - 4 Palmitos Park - El Guincho - 3 Devandra Banhart - Samba Vexillographica - 2 Goodnightboy: Björk - Innocence - 4 Thievery Corporation - Shadows of Ourselfs - 5 Sigur Rós - Sæglópur - 6 Antonio Carlos Jobim, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Jõao Gilberto - The Girl From Ipanema - 2 Joe Dassin - Les Champs Elysées - 1 Oywidapoodles: Prototypes - Je Ne To Connais Pas - 1 Komeda - It's Alright, Baby - 5 Louise Attaque - Manhattan - 5 Scala - I Touch Myself - 2 Jose Gonzalesz - Crosses - 5 Ðavid: Moptop - Sempre Igual - 3 Vanguart - My Last Days of Romance - 3 Nouvelle Vague - Love Will Tear Us Apart - 3 Los Hermanos - Tenha Dó - 5 Kings of Convenience - Cayman Islands - 4 -Denise-: Voicst - Everyday I Work on the Road - 5 Cansei de Ser Sexy - Off the Hook - 5 Alamo Race Track - Don't Beat This Dog - 4 Moke - We'll dance - 2 Nada Surf - La pour ca - 2 gagasim: Air - Electronic Perfomers - 5 Mano Negra - Indios de Barcelona - 4 Riceboy Sleeps - All the big trees - 3 Sigur Ros - Untitled #8 - 2 Louise Attaque - J'temmène au vent - 1 Okay. So let's go to the ties now. I think the person who submitted the songs should decided which one of the tied songs makes it to the CD, right? There's a tie for Jose's songs: Animal Collective - Water Curses - 3 Palmitos Park - El Guincho - 3 Which one do you choose, Jose? And there's a three-way tie for my songs: Moptop - Sempre Igual - 3 Vanguart - My Last Days of Romance - 3 Nouvelle Vague - Love Will Tear Us Apart - 3 I choose Vanguart's "My Last Days of Romance". Obs.: If you want to count yourself and if you find any mistakes, please let me know. I might have miscounted. __________________
