some bands i've been cranking

bedouin soundclash:
amazing reggae/soul trio from canada; plays some fresh beats with a post-blues/folk twist.
"when the night feels my song" is incredible.

modest mouse
:
everyone should know these guys; borrowed good news from david wirsig recently, and it's pretty good. new album hits soon; latest single: "dashboard," i believe.
"float on"...all the hype is well-placed

sufjan stevens:
yeah, i made a post awhile back, but this guy deserves all the attention he can get. just purchased illinois, as i implied to earlier - and it's a sure 9.5/10 in my eyes...or ears, rather. it's folk, so deal with it.
check out whatever he has up, especially "henny buggy"

the southern sea:
i'm not sure if they have a purevolume, but check out their homepage if you're interested.
lo-fi electronic pop-rock is the best i can describe em.

my brightest diamond:
doesn't have a purevolume; fantastic indie vocal pop from asthmatic kitty records (same as sufjan). needless to say, look into her...music, that is. (gosh.)

havalina:
a band from tooth and nail's older days. funky/psychedelic avant-rock. i'm not sure if you check their music anywhere b/sides itunes.

um, all that in addition to: new explosions in the sky, starflyer 59, coldplay, red hot chili peppers, etc. i know i'm forgeting some.

p.s. all lower caps, yo.
