I'm about a year and two months too late for the Jim Noir craze, but I'm going to disregard indie mp3 etiquette and rave about him anyway. Some uses for Jim Noir's Tower of Love are listed below:

1. Hangover cure
2. Heartburn medicine
3. Temporary anxiety relief
4. Mood enhancer

Jim Noir combines the sunny disposition of melody king, Brian Wilson, with the melancholy of contemporary indie folk. (Does that make any sense?) It goes down sweet, but it's not the empty fluff of pop's past. Syrupy and delicious. Covered in a slow-moving fog that's become characteristic of Noir's sound. The track below is a perfect example of how this melodic "fog" adds weight to an otherwise light, shiny pop song:

"How to Be So Real" - Jim Noir

Bonus track: "Computer Song" - Jim Noir 

Buy this wonderful pop record.
