Sister Suvi

3 peoples: one ukelele, one guitar, and more than one drum come together from other places and make some bang up indie pop with extremely cool experimental vocal harmonies and driving rhythms. If you haven't heard these cats yet you will... or if you won't you should... or just listen already! Aren't you tired of reading my ramblings?

Come get clever lyrics and experimental beats/samples to satisfy your esoteric hip hop tastes. Plenty of tracks from his first LP Breaking Kayfabe & new release Afterparty Babies.

Of Montreal - Live

Has a style that is typical of many Elephant 6 bands due to its interests in combining musical experimentation and the basic tenets of pop, such as catchy melodies and sing along choruses.

In years past the South by Southwest music festival has released a BitTorrent with DRM-free songs showcasing the artists in the festival. This year you have to download each one individually. However, thanks to this unofficial site, you can get the 2008 showcase (764 artists in all) in one BitTorrent file.

funk up in her - "smashing up against the sonic perimeter" - she got a sense a humor - mad whack experimental

Evangelicals

molly — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 02:04:49 -0600

Beautiful experimental, yet only slightly strange, guitar/synth pop. I mean strange in a good way, without sounding forced or pretentious. They seem to have an appreciation for the macabre as can be witnessed in their lyrics, fascination with skeletons, album artwork, etc.

Wilco (Live)

brilliant band - talented, laden with originality and verve, laid back in their alt-country tradition - recorded at Washington, D.C.'s 9:30 Club Feb, 27th, 2008
