Or tours such as this one.

Well, they’ve put together a clip for their single Ticky Ticky Boom. And it comes complete with new-wave clothes and 80′s dance moves. Good times guaranteed*.

* “Good times” is a subjective term and no refund is offered in case of dissatisfaction with the “good time” you may experience.

He verbalises OMG as “omguh.” And has a zine.

Confused? Don’t be. Just watch and let the anxiety melt away…

I’m not sure if I approve of PETA spending heaps of donations to air an ad during the Super Bowl, but a nice advertisement none the less. Vegans taste better

Content includes news articles, pages you can ‘turn’, embedded YouTube music videos and an MP3 playlist to listen to while you read.

You can opt to have updates sent to your email every time relevant content is added and a new magazine is ‘published’, or check back to see what’s new. Create a user account to add Facebook and Bebo friends, or make new ones already part of the community.

Colourful and fun, these guys do a mad live show and make music that makes you want to have sex.

They’ve stated that the reason they made their song ‘Let’s make love and listen to Death from Above’ was because they wanted Death from Above to find CSS if they did a Google search of their own names.

Alala by CSS

CAEKHAT!

Even if you’re not waiting for their sophomore LP,”Teeth Lost, Hearts Won”, triple j favourites The Grates’ blog, FUTURE OR OTHERWISE is worth checking out. Full of their typical shenanigans and studio progress, it might even make you want to listen to their music. For those who can’t get enough of their video diary entries (unlikely), they also have a YouTube channel.

If you need to fill the gap in your indie music collection, Pae has pretty much done the work for me this post and reviewed some songs on the triple j Unearthed website (charmedquark: check out Tokyo Spares).

/laziest post ever

Plus I’ve been having trouble with file hosting websites so you can just find and download the recommended tracks yourselves. Lazy bastards.

zOMG I can’t believe Conor Oberst isn’t a meat eater.
Actually, my overly melodramatic exclamation is false. I found out a little while ago, and he wasn’t really hiding it when he made this video for PeTA:

(Although his Wikipedia article claims he’s now a pescaterian. Boo.)

The co-owner of Saddle Creek records and vocalist/guitarist/driving force behind both Bright Eyes (he sounds best singing folk-inspired indie pop IMO) and the short-lived indie-punk hybrid Desaparecidos, Oberst has also been an open supporter of Barrack Obama, playing for him at rallies in January and February of this year.

Cassadaga came out last year and I’m still delving into it whilst listening to Read Music/Speak Spanish.
AT THE SAME TIEM.

I recommend basically anything you can find from either of those two in Lua of finding “Well Whiskey”.

Next week: I might manage to smuggle a post out using a router Tony Stark built in a cave LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
