Hear Hear

Here are a few of the bands I'm currently listening to:

Nada Surf

Beck

The Virgins (Can't get enough of the funk.)

M.I.A.

Fleet Foxes (Scroll down Amazon's page to hear samples off their debut album. They are amazing. They sound like Simon and Garfunkel or The Byrds.)

M83 (The video for Graveyard Girl is pretty cute in a corny sort of way, though I doubt cute is what they were going for.)

Yeasayer

My Morning Jacket (I especially love "Librarian.")

The Ting Tings (She's got great attitude.)

The Decemberists

Bon Iver (He just sounds like he has a beard.)

MGMT (This one's for Sergei since he's in the solar industry, but this one is cool too.)

Electric 6 (This song is for Sergei too.)

Sigur Ros (This song is brimming with melancholy and beauty. This one sounds like what heartbreak feels like. Okay, here's a happier one.)

The Wombats (It really makes me feel like dancing.)

Vampire Weekend (I personally love any song that starts, "Who gives a fuck about..." plus the video is pretty sweet. Wes Andersonesque.)


Sonic Youth (So classic.)

The Kills (Here is one of my favorites of theirs, and a nod to Serge Gainsbourg as well.)

The Go! Team
The Futureheads


And I'm still loving:

Cold War Kids
Pavement (Okay, the song is like 15 years old but it is still great.)
Peter, Bjorn and John
