New Discoveries

[groovypanda]

first: hello again everyone - it's been waaay too long!

second: my current listening pleasures

the magic numbers the magic numbers - glorious sun kissed harmony laden pop perfection. i was lucky enough to see them live about six weeks ago and they were so good it was unbelievable

arular m.i.a. - incredibly infectious dancehall/hip-hop mash up. check 10 dollar, galang or hombre to get a flavour

the superimposers the superimposers - downbeat electronica/country/guitar excellence. fave track probably seeing is believing

hal hal - yet another eponomously titled lp and yet more gorgeous harmony pop that's heavily influenced by the beach boys but none the worse for it. ignore any thrills comparisons you may have read and let the sunshine into your life

the understanding röyksopp - as eike said, not melody a.m. part 2 at all. a lot dancier than the first album and i was a bit unsure at first but its a definite grower and right now i'm loving 49 percent so much it's untrue

take london the herbaliser
guero beck
be common
get behind me satan the white stripes
jac tosca
the heartlight set joy zipper
folly the engineers
ok cowboy vitalic

and probably some others i've forgotten...
