What are you currently listening to?

BW made me put this on:

It certainly has its moments, doesn't it? I always think it is heavily influenced by Talking Heads but it's certainly no rip-off.
 
Speaking of pop perfection...this might be the best pure pop (in the classic sense, not today's definition) single ever released. It just drips with honey, sunshine, and jangly guitar bits.

I bought the vinyl 45 of this way back when as well.
 
While i'm on a roll regarding 80's guitar pop...this is a true gem from a little known Australian band called the Falling Joys...the Aussies seem to know how to produce guitar pop like no one else...

Let's keep it going...this one's a little later, from 1993. The Candyskins, "Wembley"

I don't give nearly enough love to the boys from Sland, The Futureheads. Been listening to them since I heard their first single:

Took them what seems like an eternity to release their debut album after that, but oh what a cracker! One of the best debut albums of the 00's for sure.


I just love their brand of spiky, start/stop, mult harmony rock. Ace band.
 
Great stuff for an early Sunday morning...why I am awake this early? Anyway the latest offering from Mark Mark Kozelek.

One of the best lyrics ever on 'Sunshine In Chicago: "My band played here a lot in the 90s when we had lots of female fans, and **** they all were cute/Now I just sign posters for guys in tennis shoes".

Nupping - Dope Body.

Some enjoyable noise punk.

Also loving this track at the minute.
