Architecture in Helsinki, I know those guys, I didn’t know that they had made it to America. One year ago (last time I saw them), they told me that they had just comeback from Seattle where they had had meetings with Sub pop people. I wonder if they are helping them with their tours over in the sates.

i heard Zack played his first show in over 5 years in LA a couple weeks ago…that’s what I heard.

I’m bummed I missed those Helsinski guys from OZ too, only it was a tuesday night in San Francisco. But Stars/Death Cab on the 13th and BSS/Feist on the 9th of Nov should help me recover.

yea that is embarassing, Oso, youre an embarassment to this blog.

Jon – yea i didnt forget about Architecture, i just don’t think theyre gonna save the world with their music the way Wolf PArade has and will. theyre actually a really big band with a huge draw, id be surprised if that casbah show wasnt sold out. rajeev loves those guys in an unhealthy wealthy way. ITS FIVE!!!! IT….IS…..FIVE!!

Architecture in Helsinki … yet another band I was introduced to by my 15-year-old sister. So embarrassing. I wanted to be at that Casbah show … I wish that event planning part of the brain wasn’t missing in my own.

check out Architecture in Helsinki, especially if you’re into the Arcade Fire – their album will knock you down. They played in San Diego a few nights ago at the Casbah, I was out of town or I’d have gone. I heard that it was a great show though – probably one of those ‘You and 3 of your closest friends at the Casbah seeing an awesome new band that hasn’t made enough wave to draw a crowd yet’ kind of experiences that happens sometimes.

No you aren’t like HP your comment was interesting, informative and of course as you mention lacking in self-loathing. keep giving me the music. As that dead white man theif (you know the one) said “If music be the food of love, play on”

thanks everyone for pitching in with more great new music. lets see if i can address everyone:

“Why?” is a side project with one of the guys from CLOUDDEAD, an indie hiphop band…you should check that out, HP, altho you might not like it cause theres no bling-bling video on mtv and you wont see them on the cover of Source Magazine talking about “feuds” fabricated to push their album sales from double gold to platinum. anyway WHY? is less hiphop but its definitely genre-crossing. as my friend who introduced me to them said ” the song Gemini sounds like a Ben Folds Five song gone horribly right”.

Amadou and Miriam are a blind couple from Mali. They both sing, Amadou plays guitar. This album was produced by Manu Chao and its definitely got his fingerprints all over it. great stuff.

Oso hates MIA because, as hes proven time and time again, he hates brown people. ESPECIALLY brown women. just cant stand them.

EMC – ill check out that Soulwax album.

Thanks again for everyones recommendations, i’ve decided to keep it positive and i’m not going to critique. aint gonna say what i hate, just what i love. and i love DANCE HALL

gonna dance all dance hall every day, gonna dance all dancehall everyday. damn, this comment was long, i’m like HP now, but without the self-loathing.

ahh HP, the eternal whipping boy on this site. pobre.
