For me, the Kaiser Chiefs are only so-so. I prefer The Killers (who, for some reason, I find simliar but better). And I have to drop in Paramore and Biffy Clyro, two really fine bands that I don't think I've seen mentioned in others' lists. peace and love, Edward Protect your PC with 50% off Norton Security - http://www.tiscali.co.uk/securepc _______________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2009 11:20:52 -0500 From: 2fs Subject: Re: Now that's more like it!

James - - -- James Dignan, Dunedin, New Zealand - ------------------------------------------------- My favorite artists mentioned here lately are the Chiefs and Nicole Atkins (coming to Urbana next month with the Avett Brothers; I'm working on getting an interview with her for my show). Two new groups I haven't seen mentioned yet are Fleet Foxes and Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons. The latter were a Midwestern secret for the last couple of years who played a 75-seat venue here every few months. They're "blowing up" in an Americana sort of way which means they're touring nationally now; their show here next month is their first in a year. On the "songs about baseball" front, check out "America's Favorite Pastime" on Todd Snider's latest album, "The Excitement Plan". It's about Dock Ellis' no-hitter, apparently pitched while tripping on acid.
