The obligatory good song(3's and 7's) with incredibly stupid music video:

Depends what you mean by recent.
Electric Six is decent, if not that recent. :)
King of Leon, Animal Collective, QotSA I know,
Fiery Furnaces and Yeah Yeah Yeahs are loathed on a skin level,
others are unknown: I'll try them and report :)

How is Electric Six gay? They made plenty of good songs, besides Gay Bar. :rolleyes:
It's not like I recommended Scissor Sisters. :P

They're quite big in Denmark too I believe.
Also, I can strongly recommend Fleet Foxes and Foals.
PS. forgot to mention Glasvegas, properly the best album of 2008 imo.

Holy fuck, I'm in slight agreement with Marti on Electric Six. Devil Nights is a good song.

It was an amazing show as well.
Bob Dylan's new album gets a :thumbsup: from me.
Although that's hardly newish music, since he's been playing the same song since the mid-60s.
Don't touch Chris Cornell's latest album, unless you've always hated him.

I know I'm going to get a visit from Mr. M. Butt and his friend Mr. T. Iron for saying this, but the first Audioslave album was alright; since then, Cornell's been falling apart at the seams. :weep:

Not from me. I despise Audioslave. Chris Cornell has been wasted since after his 1st solo album.
:yeah:
I've seen Camera Obscura twice in Manchester since moving here, and Asobi Seksu's "Thursday" is excellent.
Glad that you like them, Pedrito. My Favorite Ex-GF is mailing some cds she made for me, so I might have more
bands for you at a later date.
Eccellente! :cool:

They are indeed awesome. Don't believe I missed them out.

I haven't heard either of those bands. I :('m basing this opinion all the times I've heard pimpicus play music. It has mostly sucked.
Pilot Speed, a band out of Canada. Not sucky Canadian like Len.
http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.artistalbums&artistid=11832740&albumid=12304000
Barely Listening is a good song and Into the West is a good album.

Where does everyone here find their new music? Blogs? Friends? Last.fm?

Languish :P
Seriously, from friends and websites.
I discovered several good to very good bands while using WinMX: when I downloaded something from some guy, In usually browsed his other shared files, and if i found his amd my tastes almost overlapping, I downloaded everything I didn't know from him; this way I found a lot of new, good artists.
Of those suggested in the thread and listened till now:
Camera obscura, glasvegas: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Asobi Seksu, Foals: :thumbsup: need more time
Silversun Pickups: :thumbsdown: They seem a bit too emo for my tastes

Not exactly a new band, but one I recently discovered: Apocalypta. Hard rock cello goodness.
I have been digging Ray Lamontagne lately. His newest record is Gossip in the Grain. His first one is Trouble. Both are great. I just saw him in concert -- good stuff. I am picking up his 3rd (the middle one) record next.
Flogging Molly.

Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight is my new favourite album. Ra Ra Riot - The Rhumb Line is also brilliant (Ghost Under Rock in particular), as is Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest.
Passion Pit and Mew's new albums also get a thumbs up.
Reporting on the TV on the Radio plus Animal Collective show I attended in mid-july:
Animal Collective: I heard something from their albums and was curious, if not eager, to listen to them live, but they were a big letdown: one echoed guitar and two samplers don't make people able to play music, in my opinion. Long, tedious noise sessions (7-9 minutes each one of them) and very little substance. It was like I was listening to Ross playing keyboards in the Central Perk. And their session lasted longer than TVOTR! :mad:
Tv On The Radio: excellent set, very good musicians and scenic presence, the only letdown is they played less than one and a half hour. They played almost all the last album, and went back for only a couple of songs; high points: DLZ, Dancing Choose, Wolf Like Me, Staring at the Sun.
L.
Animal Collective might just be a tad too "experimental" for me.
I haven't recommended much Danish music in this thread, but I gotta mention The Rumour Said Fire. Their EP is great, even if the label IndieFolkPop sounds scary. Check out the song Balcony. :w00t:
Porcupine Tree's new album, The Incident, is super.

Totally agree on both counts. I've seen TVotR live every time they've played in Chicago since before Return to Cookie Mountain came out. I am a huge fan.
