My best trait is probably when I ride my bike with no handlebars

Explosions in the Sky never get old..but I have I kissed a girl and I liked it stuck in my head…

Band of Horses is pretty cool-not a new band, but new to me at least; also on the pop-y side-The Ting Tings and Santogold pretty cool…

@Breefield-ditto on Explosions-awesome band (Hrsta too?)...the new Sigur Ros is pretty amazing as well.

At the moment I’m kinda stuck on Scouting for Girls and Alphabeat – I’m sure I’ll be back to my retro-and-emo-rock soon enough.

The Flotbots get another vote from me. I discovered them when I heard No Handlebars on the radio in early June… great song! I wish I lived near CO, on their website it looks like they’re preparing for a video shoot and are inviting all of their fans to be in it.

Forever the sickest kids. They’re ep, telivision off, party on, is amazing. They also kick ass live.

@sndfreQ- Band of horses and the ting tings are awesome!

The New Frontiers-Mending, its been out for a few months, but it is a beautiful album.

I’m loving Bon Iver at the moment. His band broke up so he went to live in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere during winter and came up with a solo album without even meaning to. It’s beautiful.

@mcbealer ya it is cool to live where a band is from. A I had about ten friends that went to the video shooting. Really cool stuff.

I love Bon Iver too, think it’s a great album.
I just downloaded and have fallen very fast in love with MGMT’s Ocular Spectacular, it’s fantastic. It’s almost like a grown up, non silly version of scissor sisters.

Flobots is fucking awesome. Thank you willbrawn for introducing me to them. Is that Shana Halligan singing on some of the tracks?

I’m having a hard time finding new artists that I like…I may just look the ones mentioned above up. I’m always open to suggestions.
