I seem to have developed a music-buying impulse fit thing, wherein I buy several albums, almost on a whim, because I'm sick of everything else I own. I blame pandora. Mostly.
First is MGMT, courtesy of Pandora. This video has disabled embedding, so, here's a link to
Time to Pretend. Totally wacky video, btw. Or you can watch this fanmade vid of the same song (footage from "Planet Earth" so not bad, actually).

Kasabian I have to blame on Noel Fielding. Embedding for the video
Processed Beats has been disabled also, but here's the man to blame in a fun vid, Vlad the Impaler! (This isn't from the album I bought, though.)

He is also to blame (am I always this frigging easily influenced? I don't think so!) for Mint Royale. (He and Julian both! As well as Nick Frost.)

Finally, having nothing to do with any Booshfolk, entirely to blame on some random guy on Amazon.com, Does it Offend You, Yeah?

Edit: Also! I've had this album for a while but have only recently been really listening, and I can actually, amazingly, credit our local radio station for these guys: Cage the Elephant.

And in the category of dudes I've listened to for a few years, I uploaded the first Wolfmother album for a friend tonight. You can download it
here. (I went out to buy the new album, only to find that they released two versions, one with 4 extra songs for $5 more. Why not just release the one album with all the songs? So I was irked and didn't buy it. I will, though.) If you do not know Wolfmother and enjoy classic bluesy, hard, slightly psychedelic rock, even a little, you are in for a treat! I have to blame Wolfmother on an LJ friend who's no longer around, to my knowledge.
