From Dawn Landes to Black Black

While sifting through my (very, very, vast) iTunes library, searching ANYTHING I hadn’t heard within the last 3 months, NOTHING piqued my interest. I shit you not. So I dug around on myspace and found a few new artists that I dub, “Entirely Worth Listening To.” Why should you respect my opinion? Because I totally know what I’m talking about. Here’s proof:

Black Black
these kids are good. true–a little rough, but i think the roughness is done on purpose. they totally get close to the depth of Young Marble Giants, but definitely have the raw sound/lyrics of The Moldy Peaches. Black Black is on the right track. ha. that rhymes.

Cat Hair Ensemble
i love this!!! i seriously love this. the name is absolutely disgusting and i sneeze just thinking about it, but these dudes are extremely talented musicians. AND THEY HAVE AN ACCORDION, FOR CHRIST’S SAKE! i mean…they make me want to take muscle relaxers and then dance the tango to a polka, but with a midget. they have totally been bitten by the party animal.

dawn Landes
oh god. could this GET any better? she’s sifted through dumpsters to steal table scraps from every halfway decent female artist over the past 20 years, and has managed to make it pretty perfect. listen to picture show. it’s really freaking good. and she’s super cute, too.
