the other "new music" thread seems to be a different kind of thread than this - but if you Mods think otherwise, feel free to move it over there.
some new stuff I like:
The New Pornographers - Challengers
These guys just keep getting better. Fantastic hooks, soaring harmonies, great, smart pop.
My Rights vs. Yours
Rilo Kiley - Under the Blacklight
I love the mood these L.A. indie hipsters set...Jenny Lewis has a very sexy longing to her vocals.
The Moneymaker (and no the subject of the video is NOT why I like these guys, dammit)
Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
As with The NPs, Spoon just seems to keep getting better and better. They have a very unique yet accessible sound I'm pretty crazy about.
The Underdog
Kelly Willis - Translated From Love
My favorite country gal, with a simple, soaring voice that cuts me to the bone. How this artist never became huge is beyond me.
If I Left You (I couldn't find any video from her new album - this one is from her last CD,
Easy)
