I've been putting off making a music post as I felt like I haven't heard much no music lately. However, I realized I haven't done a post in over a year, and during that time I have heard quite a lot of new music. I also have a few things that I knew about earlier that I thought I had shared, but apparently not.
Trampled by Turtles
Bluegrass band that I first heard on WNCW. Give them a listen even if you think you don't like bluegrass. It's a fun song.
Buke and Gass
Utterly bizarre and unique. I first heard about them on RadioLab as one of the hosts liked them so much he decided to interview them on what is generally a science program. The video is from NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts which is why it's 16 minutes long. No need to listen to the whole thing. They start with one of my favorite songs.
Juana Molina
Same with Buke and Gass, I first heard her on RadioLab. Not quite as strange though, except for the video which I don't much care for, but it's my favorite song. Also, she's singing Spanish in case you didn't get that.
Ramona Falls
This video was posted in a "Favorite Music Videos" thread on Something Awful. Both the video and the song are pretty amazing. The video for Russia is also pretty great.
The Civil Wars
Some blues/folk music. I don't remember how I first heard of them, but I like them.
Janelle Monae
For a change of pace, some R&B. I saw her open for Of Montreal. It was a great show. As a sidenote, I really like her shoes in this video.
Maximum Balloon
Side project from one of the members of TV on the Radio. You can definitely hear the similarities, but this has a more electronic sound.

So shortly after reading this post I got an email from ticketmaster mentioning that Trampled by Turtles was playing near me. They lied. I don't know why they think Atlanta is near me.
