Listening to Midival Punditz. You'd have to love electronic, accept hip hop & some profanity, like Indian instruments and melodies, and accept covers (Four Sticks - Zeppeliin). I'm diggin' 'em!! I'd start with the track called "Desolate."

They're on a record label with Pacifika, Babel Gilberto, The Real Tuesday Weld, and Ojos de Brujo (they were on Jools Holland, I think). Some great bands there!! I recommend all the previous for different reasons.

Ian Anderson's new release "Thick As A Brick 2"
Joe Deninzon & Stratospeerius - "The Next World"
Both are very cool!

"watched" (really listened) to the Heartless Bastard video that Josh uploaded and I remembered that I really enjoy many of the artists on that record label (Fat Possum Records). Their motto is "We're trying our best." Yeah, bands I've enjoyed: Spiritualized, The Black Keys, Heartless Bastards, Junior Kimbrough, Andrew Bird, Dinosaur Jr. Wow, quite a label. I recommend the label (and the music), wholeheartedly.
