The Young Fresh Fellows

I just love these guys. In a better world they'd be courted by the media, showered with accolades and fed on grapes and caviar. Their LPs would be on everybody's turntables, and there'd be more dancing and less war. We'd all have more colorful hats and better senses of humor too. You'll recognise Scott McCaughey from REM and related spinoffs, but don't you worry about that! Here's the inevitable Wiki link:

and a few of their enchanting videos to get you started, if you haven't started already. This is good stuff and good for you too, and as your doctor I reccomend it.

Cee Lo Green

Without a doubt, one of the best things to happen to modern R&B and its various genres is Cee Lo Green. I heard his first solo stuff in Germany a few years ago, loved it then, and now he's a household word (well, in some households, anyway). Great voice, excellent songwriter, does some amazing production and his videos are highly entertaining as well. I'll let the Wiki give you his bio:

...but I'll just give you a taste of his work via these videos. Enjoy.

The Presidents Of The United States Of America

You know you've gotta love POT USA! One of the best bands of the decade. Post-Grunge, Post-Punk, who the hell knows what to call 'em, great songs, great energy, and great musicality! Playing on highly modified instruments of their own invention, they managed to make 6 brilliant albums before breaking up (although for a broken-up band, they seem to still be playing quite a few gigs). Songs about Planet Jupiter, Evil Tiki Gods, Peaches and Darth Vader's Deathstar tend to indicate an eclectic choice of songwriting material...which as most of you know I rather like. So draw up a chair, check out a few vids, and enjoy! If you're at all like me you'll wind up with their complete catalog fairly soon.
