It is, isn't it? Big in the UK, I mean. That tune and that band have really grown on me the more I listen to the album.
So many bands and acts I love at the moment. Little Dragon, JJ, PVT, Damien Jurado, Crocodiles, Silje Nes, Flaming Lips, XX, MIA, Dan Le Sac, Chris Joss...the list goes on and on. It's a bumper year for great music!
Arcade Fire are always my favourite band.
I'm so glad they're getting big over here now. I've been ranting on getting people in to them since 2004/5, they became my favourite band in 2007, because Neon Bible was (and still is) one of the best bits of music i've ever heard, and they proved they're not a one trick pony, showed their style. The Suburbs is an amazing album. Deep Blue has to be my favouirte. That or Sprawl I (The Flatland).
Artist right now, Cee Lo Green.
f*** You (Forget you is the clean version) is an absolute tune. The Lady Killer is the second most anticipated album for me this year (the first was The Suburbs)
Listening to him in Gnarls Barkley has whetted my appitite for him!

Interpol and The National. Been my favourite two bands for ages.
New Interpol album (self titled) is a stonker, so beautifully crafted and tonnes of depth. Here's two songs from it:

Much bigger in Germany surprisingly, doesn't get too much air time with all the crap in the charts over here nowadays
I'm completely obsessed with The Thermals - brilliant band. New album out now but this is an earlier raucous gem

Although I am slightly biased as I did help (in a very minor way) with their 360 tour last summer.

Doesn't surprise me that a band with big big 80s electro leanings (Pet Shop Boys were obviously a huge influence). At the moment every other dance act I love seems to have a German connection. Wouldn't know about the charts to be honest, I don't listen to the radio.
I'm going to spam a bit here, but a very talented and genuinely bright spark in my computing class at college released an EP of 80's styled synth music. You might like it.

Some more of my fave bands at the moment
The School (Mari Wilson-inspired retro 60s pop). This is perfect pop by anyone's standards
[yt]l5zlSyHAHjo[/yt]
A bit more Brit invasion meets Britpop are the Like (another cool as f*** band)
Especially for all you mods
[yt]42p2nERiNFk[/yt]
There's Warpaint, who play Brighton this month. Love this band to bits. What an atmosphere they create
[yt]yOFxb0F2F2A[/yt]
and finally if you love twin sisters and pop then School of Seven Bells might be up your alley. This tune reminds me a bit of that Fever Ray track - when I grow up

Girl bands! Love 'em!

Yet to hear the Edwyn Collins one. I spoke about it with mr Merry Prankster before the Oldham game. Or was that the Paul Heaton one? Got to get both of 'em anyhow and now I really really want to hear them.
Haven't heard of many of the others except Little Barrie so will check those out. Thanks for the tip. BTW - Have a look who the Like's dads are - all well respected musicians in their own rights.
By the way - on the revival type bands - don't bother with the new Pipettes album if you were tempted. They've gone electro-pop but just sound a bit sub-St Etienne IMO. Not a good album.
