heard that sound

playlist

MGMT

I didn't want to like these guys...the groggy twee vocals...the simple Casio keyboard melodies...the indie-preciousness of it all.

But every now and then a band comes along and lodges itself in your brain...and you don't quite know why.

"Time to Pretend" on Letterman
"Kids" video

Far From Finished is my favorite new shouty, pogo-worthy band. U.S. Bombs headlined.

I love Rise Against and Against Me!. But geez, I can't tell 'em apart. And what marketing genius decided to give them such similar names?
