Well Flobots the band reminds me of Amsterdam. I was addicted to their "Fight With Tools" CD and listened to it often in A'dam last year.
haha exactly the same here man, they had it on in Hill Street Blues last time I was in 'Dam. First thing I did when back in the UK was to buy a copy and smoke a huge spliff listening to it.....perfect!

Some great songs here already! I always get reminded of Amsterdam when i hear Mr. Brightside by The Killers, largely because of that video, which i first saw years ago.

This is a cool tune too....

That is so weird, I honestly dont think I've seen that video before but I near enough always play Mr Brightside when I'm on the train heading into Amsterdam, the destiny is calling me line always does it for me.
