New Pornographers- the way indie-pop is supposed to sound

This man speaks the truth. Good ol' 2004 style not the pop crap that they call indie now.

Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet fires in the street.

A lot of bands listed here are featured in the latest version of Rock Band and Guitar Hero.

COINCIDENCE?!

Heh. Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of that too.

My new discoveries for the year are Justice and Crystal Castles. I find their latest works to be consistent and engaging.

Good to see that people are still discovering The Clash. Also, I'd like to sincerely recommend Stevie Wonder to all you beautiful music-loving people. I assure you that his appeal crosses musical boundaries.

Hot Chip awesome low key indie-techno-dance stuff!
Sunset Rubdown- side project of Wolf Parade front man whose name is eluding me.

Velvet Revolver. I have a friend who is slightly obsessed with them and finally I gave him the benefit of the doubt, and i'm glad that i did. They're freaking great.
