pj harvey
orange juice
breeders
pixies
elastica (I know...)
stereolab
kelis
outkast
beastie boys
daft punk
lemon jelly
luscious jackson

thanks for any ideas!

the Cinematic Orchestra

the Flaming Lips

MGMT

Really really really good.

good old Beck

The Arcade Fire?

I bet you'll like Vampire Weekend!

ooh thanks for all those! you are really spoiling me...

do love beck already. know flaming lips already and not keen.

at first viewing arcade fire and vampire weekend very appealing! will give the others a few listens before i make my mind up - love the mgmt video and think that one might grow on me.

did you like david devant?

I second Arcade Fire
also try British Sea Power, Goldfrapp, Beck, Lali Puna, Boards of Canada,Monade ( you probably know of because of Stereolab),
I love Lemon Jelly btw asicsgirl and Stereolab - you have good taste !

The Killers.The Cribs.The Courteeners.

cheers MM
stereolab still my favourite live band tho haven't been for years.

boards of canada and brit sea power - yes have heard snippets of both these and sound promising - will look them up.

not keen on goldfrapp tho!

lali puna & monade - never heard of either so will investigate!

muchas gracias

ooh yes scootermum the cribs! i heard them on something and thought they were grand.

not keen on killers. don't know courteneers, will try them cheers!

monade is Laetitia's side project with other French musicians...more mellow than Stereolab.
Have you tried Broadcast ?

The Killers?

ooh mm that sounds interesting. tho' i really like the more manic stereolab ones. i remember being astonished to see people moshing at a stereolab gig!!

broadcast - no - will try them too.

getting excited now!

Yay for MGMT, I just discovered them recently too. I'm also totally out of the loop so have no suggestions of new bands.

I love Broadcast.

Electrelane?

And there's always more Fall albums you probably haven't got around to yet.

I last saw them in Islington in about 2004 - cracking ! also at Shepherds Bush Empire and R Festival Hall-
I remember French Disko especially at S Bush Empire

ooh no am allergic to the fall!!

don't know electrelane either. will seek out...

this is great! keep them coming!

asicsgirls - have you got new Stereolab single ? download only on iTunes or stream from their MySpace page...new album out in August (info from dh who is major Stereolab fan)

ooh mm you have been out and about more recently than me then... only live act i have seen for years is pj harvey.
