Boards
I've fallen in love with three new(ish) bands recently
Muscles
Australian guy who by all accounts across blogland is a bit of a cock. This matters not. He makes cool music that sounds like a much better Tom Vek

Shocking Pinks
Not new, by any means. But new to ME. I like them very much. Anything good enough for DFA is good enough for me

Professor Murder
Again, they had an EP out waaaaay back in 2006, but it's freakin' sweet. This was recommended to me in a thread I did a couple of weeks back asking for recommendations along the lines of "!!!, Out Hud etc". Go buy the Professor Murder Rides the Subway EP. Dirt cheap on Market Place. And I *think* they have a new EP out soon too, which is just great
