http://www.thescreamingorphans.com/band.php one of my favorite shows last year. 4 Sisters, Celtic punk sort of. Love the show, the hilarious onstage banter ("well we thought of being the next U2&quot .

I like Disparate Youth. I am surprised Santigold is not more popular.

I like the song My Superman - it is Santigold's take on Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Red Light"

10. Courtney Barnett - Avant Gardner

love these lyrics



AVANT GARDENER was written by Courtney Barnett

I sleep in late
Another day
Oh what a wonder
Oh what a waste.
It's a monday
It's so mundane
What exciting things
Will happen today?
The yard is full of hard rubbish it's a mess and
I guess the neighbours must think we run a meth lab
We should ammend that
I pull the sheets back
It's 40 degrees
And i feel like i'm dying.
Life's getting hard in here
So i do some gardening
Anything to take my mind away from where it's sposed to be.
The nice lady next door talks of green beds
And all the nice things that she wants to plant in them
I wanna grow tomatoes on the front steps.
Sunflowers, bean sprouts, sweet corn and radishes.
I feel pro-active
I pull out weeds
All of a sudden
I'm having trouble breathing in.

My hands are shaky
My knees are weak
I can't seem to stand
On my own two feet
I'm breathing but i'm wheezing
Feel like i'm emphysem-in'
My throat feels like a funnel
Filled with weet bix and kerosene and
Oh no, next thing i know
They call up triple o
I'd rather die than owe the hospital
Till I get old
I get adrenalin
Straight to the heart
I feel like Uma Thurman
Post-overdosing kick start
Reminds me of the time
When i was really sick and i
Had too much psuedoefedryn and i
Couldn't sleep at night
Halfway down high street, andy looks ambivalent
He's probably wondering what i'm doing getting in an ambulance
The paramedic thinks i'm clever cos i play guitar
I think she's clever cos she stops people dying
Anaphylactic and super hypocondriactic
Should've stayed in bed today
I much prefer the mundane.
I take a hit from
An asthma puffer
I do it wrong
I was never good at smoking bongs.
I'm not that good at breathing in.

Gets out there. I was afraid they were gonna stay in the same place musically, but they are really reaching for it. Love to see growth...

so amazing. Love how she plays guitar, the style. And such a powerful voice. Incredible person too, she does a song for Molly Ivins and is very outspoken and very liberal.

22. The "New Linda Rondstadt" Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers

I hate those labels but they are attention getting and sometimes, like this one, spot on. Great band too...




Today we are thrilled to release our new album Loved Wild Lost to the world! This collection of songs is very dear to us and we are proud to share it with all of you. Written in the ranchlands of Pescadero and recorded above the coastal terrace of Stinson Beach and behind the wind-blown dunes of Ocean Beach, this album is a pure and honest reflection of leaving California and coming back home. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed making it.

32. I don't like too many modern tunes

but this tune, now almost 10 years old, sends chills down my spine. It would have been a legendary, immortal song from any time period, including the 60s. And it's Earth Day.
