Favorite Artists
Sparks
One of the most tragically underrated bands ever! After nearly 30 years they're still creating amazing music, and with their most recent releases, Lil' Beethoven, Hello Young Lovers, and Exotic Creatures of the Deep, they've produced perhaps the best music of their lengthy career.
Slim Cessna's Auto Club
A little-known band that creates warped country western tunes that recall nostalgic acts like Bob Wills and Slim Whitman, but at a punk revival. To be sure, the Auto Club are an undoubtedly original and entertaining musical act not to be missed.
Of Montreal
Of Montreal create sugary pop music that is truly addictive, complex and catchy. Whether it's an intricate concept album like Coquelicot Asleep in the Poppies, or the danceable, but melodic, synth-pop of The Sunlandic Twins, Of Montreal are creating some of the most exciting pop music around.
The Gourds
An amazing band that combines several musical styles, including honky-tonk, country, blues, zydeco, Tex-Mex, bluegrass and rock. It's a potent concoction that can be experienced on their many recordings; but for The Gourds at their most amazing, you must see them live!
Man Man
Everything-and-the-kitchen-sink rock at its finest.
