Making me want to find my Bourgois Tagg CD. Which will lead me to my Marshall Cresnshaw CDs... my musical ADD kicking in....


That's me as well. Bourgeouis Tagg - haven't heard about that band in ages.

I also use Freegal, combined with my library card, allows 5 song downloads a week.

Another band not nearly as popular that you would almost certainly enjoy is Temples.

They sound a little like the Shins, but with more of a psychadelic sound.

All of these bands have memorable hooks - I guess that's what I like about all of them.

I get exposed to some of these bands through music shows on NPR. For the past two years, All Songs Considered has done an 'Austin 100' which is a downloadable compilation of 100 songs of bands playing South by Southwest. I usually find about 10 out of the 100 that I REALLY like, and then I'll go rabbit hole those bands.
