The Ruby Suns
indie rock meets world music. didn't vampire weekend and yeasayer already cover this ground? sure, but those albums pale in comparison with this exceptional album that also relies on heavy Beach Boys influence. you'll be lost at the beach without this record.

if you like Animal Collective, clayton, you should check out Panda Bear's album Person Pitch. Panda Bear is one of the guys from Animal Collective and it is has its own weirdness, but it has a more Beach Boys touch to it, if that makes any sense at all.
You had Animal Collective on your list for a while... and thanks to you, I'm digging on it now. It's sorta crazy.
yeah, vfk, really enjoying P&A. they're pretty terrific.
sharing is caring.

Great to see you continue to dig the Plants & Animals release, betty...it has been my favorite since I first heard it.
steve, i didn't know. thanks for the alert.
betty - I'm sure you know but Annuals has an EP out today/yesterday. one of their tunes is available for free download from XPN if you want a preview.

i think it's a solid album from beginning to end. i find myself turning the volume up when one of their songs comes on my list. i saw them live at SXSW and was wowed. they are simply terrific musicians and that gave me more of an appreciation of the album. it certainly is not going to change the face of music, but it's a fun listen.
betty - only have heard one song from the Whigs album but I like it. Is the whole album solid? Do you see it fading from your list or climbing some more with time?
When the Eagles win the Super Bowl?
uh, vin, when do i get paid for writing reviews for your site?
per your request, some references above.

I give betty a +1 for alerting me to band of horses but i'm still not "getting" Of Montreal.
Betty - need some reference on your lists so I know what to get. What exactly is Black Mountain like?

Betty, I think you are THE source for new music among several other sources on this site. Keep on discovering!!! - stock
Thanks for alerting me.
I've added the Atlas Sound, Black MOuntain, and Prints albums to the database. Let me know if you can't find something else.

The following bands did not turn up in my search: Atlas Sound, Black Mountain and Prints. They would have knocked out the current last 3 on my list.
