Good to see Caribou on the list this week. They are one of my favorite bands currently making music, and I would really suggest checking out the kraut influenced Milk of Human Kindness or the more psychetronic Up in Flames if you haven't already. And no big surprise at #1, although it will be interesting to see how long they stay on this list as compared to Theater Fire, who seem to have been on it every week for the past couple of months. A lot of the rest of the list is kinda strange, huh? Two of the bands I've never even heard of. Guess which ones...

I'm surprised to see Tom Petty on there. Not that he sucks or anything, but just weird to see that on the Good Charts.

Dan Snaith is Manitoba/Caribou.
There is no "band", conceptually.

i think it's silversun pickups...

would the second unknown be Nobody & Mystic Chords of Memory?

- Long Winters suck
- Drams rule
- I liked the Caribou (the band formerly called Manitoba) Milk of Human... record a lot when I first heard it but less with every listen. By listen 10 it was listed on eBay. The sounds are interesting and well executed, but it is a little soulless and slick and safe in a way. I feel the same way about M83.

the drams

the long winters?

Wait. Who's Sufjan Stevens? Is he local?

Tom Petty?

nope, not Kashmere.... but Silverspun and one more

the Kashmere Stage Band is a pretty good record if you like funk and soul circa 1950's. Pretty good stuff

Kashmere Stage Band and Silverspun Pickups?
