I've been racking my brain searching iTunes for some obscure tracks by some of my favorite bands......most times I go to look my mind goes blank.

So I thought maybe the good people on this board could share some of the treasures they've have found on the site.

Some of the best stuff I have purchased are:

the Decemberists - Human Behavior (from the album Read - Interpreting Bjork)
Arcade Fire - Broken Window (from the Keep the Car Running Single)
Bloc Party - Banquet (iTunes Version)
Broken Social Scene - Live at Radio Aligre FM in Paris EP (an acoustic radio show......REALLY good)
the Dandy Warhols - She Sells Sanctuary (from the album Bridging the Distance)
the Flaming Lips - Do You Realize (iTunes Originals Version)
Sarah Harmer - Around This Corner (acoustic - from the album Artists Den, Vol. 3)
Sparklehorse (with the Flaming Lips) - Go (FANTASTIC, from the album The Late Great Daniel Johnston: Discovered Covered)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Live Session (iTunes Exclusive EP - the Diamond Sea cover is AMAZING)
In my world everyone is a pony,
and they all eat rainbows and pooh butterflies!

    I actually saw him in concert in Toronto back in May......it was a great show - you really got a sense of how fragile/insecure he is during his minimal b/w song banter. He closed the show with a great a-cappella version of Devil Town.....

    thought i'd give this thread another chance.....anybody find any cool rare tunes on iTunes that they want to share with us????

    Last night I found Emily Haines (of Metric) doing an acoustic cover of "Don't Think Twice It's Alright" from the "Help! A Day In The Life" benefit album.......pretty darn good cover

    The Shins - We Will Become Silhouettes

    I guess this is from a Postal Service EP? Probably not exactly a burried treasure, but I do love the song.

    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
