OK, so there's this whole 'I wish I was Ariel Pink' thing going on with loads of bands at the moment, and frankly I think this is no bad thing.

Here's my current favourites, please recommend me more. Super.

Washed Out - http://www.myspace.com/thebabeinthewoods - This guy is fucking incredible. The fact he's unsigned slays me. seriously, listen to this NOW.

Teengirl Fantasy - http://www.myspace.com/teengirlfantasy - Its good, but the album's not quite there but fuck it, they're about 7 so yknow, they've got time. They are essentially american fuck buttons.

Ecstatic Sunshine - http://www.myspace.com/ecstaticsunshine - Tim Kinsella if he was good.

Universal Studios Florida - http://www.myspace.com/universalstudiosfloridaband - Bit like if you listened to some really good techno at the bottom of a cave, underwater.

Toro Y Moi - http://www.myspace.com/toroymoi - The meeting point of animal collective and italians do it better.

Teeth Mountain - http://www.myspace.com/teethmountain - Sounds like someone falling into remote hillside shack full of tamborines.

Memory Cassette - http://www.myspace.com/memorycassette - Just brill.
