What Are You Listening To?

[grateful]

alt-j.  man.  like if the essence of indie and all things hip could merge the gap between coldplay and pink floyd.  how are they this good.  it makes you stop what you are doing, and really listen to what is going on there.   

I am loving this band.

An Australian outfit doing truly innovate funk versions of Bollywood classics.  Really liking their arrangement of "Jaan Pehenchan Ho" the Bollywood song featured in "Ghost World".  I'll bet they really bring down the house live.

I liked that Cold Cave album but I'll bet Stellastarr got all mad when they heard it.
