i haven't heard of any of those bands

that's what i thought until i realized that he had listed the bands backwards. he went "album title - band" and not the other way around.

i've heard of tune-yards and girls, i've obviously heard panda bear. i listened to the song by girls that was posted in the thread and it seems pretty neat!

(if your favorite band wasn't listed on here it's not because i didn't like their new record it's just cuz i haven't heard a lot of the new stuff. i still haven't listened to gloos drop by battles or bad as me by tom waits, nor have i listened to a lot of these new bands that people are going nuts over)

[RichChap]

off the top of my head, my favorites were SBTRKT's album, Hot Sauce Committee Part 2, Modeselektor - Monkeytown, Wolfgang Gartner - Weekend in America, Justice - Audio, Video, Disco, but there are probably others that were better than these which I'm forgetting about now.
