SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC

• john vanderslice - effing KILLED it. what's not to love with some synth, electric guitar, and those baby blue eyes, oh yes
• submarines - dreamy indiepop from a married duo that DOESN'T suck. i bought the CD
• mumlers - if ozomatli stripped down and with lots of brass
• annuals - north carolinans who do folk in the oh-so right away and have a song with the lyric "oh, you stupid bitch"
• pilot speed - shoegazed allure
• minmae - i love love layered guitar
• midlake - if only they didn't have so much merch...
