Yeah, but same thing with the dude from Calla (who had one seriously awesome record). Fuck, if I could get paid to do it, I'd play MGMT, Gaga and other crap too. I heard dude from Calla would just find Top 40 dance play lists and download the shit that day and play it that night.

obviously the strokes, the s dubz, LCD sound system is great, lightning bolt, radiohead...

interpol turn on the bright lights is a great album
daft punk - discovery (dance party essential)
the clientele - suburban light (great for rainy days)
the shins..."new slang" it'll change your life, i swear
fugazi - the arguement -- great album

[Whet Bull]

the s dubz, LCD sound system is great

the greek theatre.

you mean the butthouse?

Well, there's Peaches, of course.



The Canadian Chloe Sevigny!





I heard she's Bob Geldof's daughter.


Then there's She & Him:


I read somewhere that she writes better songs than any of the bands that you like.  That's gotta be good.

This guy's a fucking genius, look at 'im:
