Early Mercury Rev with David Baker (yerself is steam, boces)? Or afterwards because to me they sound very different after he left.

Nah I haven't, just listening to them now and they seem tidy. Pretty Shinish and remind me a bit of Gorrilaz and even a bit of Mattafix, I like it, cheers.

I'd probably say afterwards, more like Deserter's Songs/All Is Dream. I like their first two and the third probably has my favourite Mercury Rev song-Young Man's stride, but I was kinda thinking more recent to be honest.

Spotify recommends several for The Shins

Thanks for those. Yeah, I really should get back to using spotify, I got rid of it about three years ago when they started clamping down/limiting what you could listen to and haven't really used it since. Probably a bad idea since I've gotten a bit lazy in finding things for myself....Thanks though!

New-ish band called Alpines that I'm really enjoying at the moment. If you like acts such as Saint Saviour, Theme Park etc then you should check them out.

Good video -
Alpines 'Got Me Wrong' - AllSaints Basement Sessions - YouTube

Sexy Fi - their new album came out a few weeks ago...it was mixed by John McEntire from Tortoise/Sea and Cake/Stereolab/whoelsehasnthebeeninvolvedwith

Best tune: Keep Cooler, from when they were still playing SXSW under the name Nancy

I would recommend HAIM. Best family girl band out right now.

Last.Fm is giving me nothing I want, so.. I'm gonna try here. (I'm sick of girl bands at the moment-- unless it's 100% kick-ass)

Here's what I'm digging:
Love, love Alt-J (Thanks Vanilla!)

I'm always happy when Vampire Weekend pops up.

Dirty Projectors and Frightened Rabbit are new on my radar-- I like them quite a bit.

A few more:
Wild Beasts, The Unicorns, Cold War Kids

Can you give me anything based on the above mentioned? Or if you love these bands as much as I do, clearly we have the same tastes, so just give me a good recommedation!

Well, I did some searching around and found some stuff that I'm pretty pleased with. So pleased, that I felt obliged to share. (you may show your pleasure)
