Band...help wanted.
So I'm toddling around gumtree (Yeah, toddling...god, I come up with some crap sometimes) the other day and came across this list of influences:
Aisha Duo, Akron/Family, Amiina, Andrew Bird. Animal Collective, Annuals, Battles, Arcade Fire, Atlas Sound, Bat for Lashes, Blonde Redhead, Bon Iver, Broken Social Scene, Calexico, Chad VanGaalen, Charge Group, Clogs, Crayon Fields, CSS, The Cure, Decoder Ring, Dirty Projectors, Dirty Three, Empire of the Sun, Explosions in the Sky, Firekites, Fleet Foxes, Gorillaz, Jeff Buckley, Grizzly Bear, Joanna Newsom, Jose Gonzalez, Joy Division, Kasabian, Kronos Quartet, Metronomy, MGMT, The Middle East, Midnight Juggernauts, Mogawi, Mono, My Brightest Diamond, The Notwist, Of Montreal, Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Portishead, The Postal Service, Rachel's, Radiohead, The Rapture, Sigur Ros, Sonic Youth, Stars, Steve Reich, Sufjan Stevens, Telepathe, Blitzen Trapper, Monsters of Folk, M. Ward, My Morning Jacket, Velvet Underground, Talking Heads, David Bowie, BEat Happening, Beach House, Spacemen 3, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Smashing Pumkins, The Drums, Dum Dum Girls, An Horse, The Raveonettes.
Oh yeah, someone has good taste in music.
You'd TOTALLY be forgiven for assuming it was me but, no, it's not. Crazy.
I emailed the kid to congrat him on the aural lithium he's subjected his ears to.
Anyways. He's looking for almost anybody, who plays almost anything.
Being musically retarded I feel the need to compensate by helping recruit people for projects.
Anyways for more info go here.
If you hate the idea well... I may lead you to fire but, I'm not asking you to roll around in it.

Team Sleep- Death by Plane
Just a thought, if you're a band. Set up a shitty little page on wikipedia and link yourself to genres and similar bands. Link yourself to anything that could apply to you.
I might stumble upon you.
I might like you.
I might even blog about you.
Then again, you could be shit and not worth mentioning.
Just sayin'.

Lo Fi
Low Fidelity music apparently goes by Lo-Fi now.
Apparently it's a genre. Kids, you can now be defined by your equipment and how you record.
The Microphones- I Felt Your Shape

Delayed Midlake Love
Midlake.
On Bella Union records. Maybe they're good at their job and I should check 'em out. Wait here a moment. In the mean time:
Midlake- Roscoe
I swear I listened to something similar as a kid.
Gold star for Bella Union...yeah. You can tell I'm enthused.
I should be more enthused seeing as Wavves is on Bella Union and I've decided they're rad. But, man, I'm tired. I need a nap.
Waves- Weed Demon

More from Interpol-ish
Julian Plenti.
Paul Banks from Interpol.
Solo.
Because he needs to prove himself.
REALLY.
He hasn't made me jizz my pants enought with Interpol's sexy time music, so now he's gonna make me drool some more.
Julian Plenti- Games for Days
Why? WHY????
You sexy bastard.
(PS. Julian Plenti site is cruddola. I'd be satisfied with a myspace though, not this one though, it looks like a lazy fan set it up... where's your myspace PAUL? I WANT SEXY PHOTOS!)
Ahem. Yes.
