Based on a small sample size thus far, I really like Stars when the woman is singing. Not so much when the dude is singing.

Stars put on an excellent live show (small sample size as well -- I saw them once years ago) & I support your analysis. Even the dude's stage-presence is off-putting. It's like he was trained in musical theatre or something, because he's almost too demonstrative with his gesturing and fist-waving while singing. He also sported the only ascot I've ever seen on a non-cartoon person, so there's that.

I'm listening to a Japanese band called Bump of Chicken. I don't say this to recommend them so much as, how can I not take the chance to mention a band called Bump of Chicken.

This is just so nice. Ol' young Tobias Jesso Jr. is proving himself quite an excellent 'good ol' fashioned' songwriter type.

In a more standard-to-me vein, Doldrums is proving himself to be an adept guy. I saw his live show at a music festival last year, and its kinda-shittiness didn't seem to betray that he had this kind of noise-assault in his arsenal. This is nice song though.

I am not familiar with The Go! Team's previous work (and yes that pretentious exclamation point is part of the name). But I sure as hell love this song.

Norwegian Wood, damn. That is a satisfying song to play. Trying to get Michelle and struggling a bit, but getting there.

iTunes says 7 of my top 20 songs played in the last 5 years are Parquet Courts. I am not sure whether I am actually listening that much, or if I left it on repeat one time. Or both. This is also skewed because for like 2 years I listened to the same hip-hop mix CD 5 days a week on the way to and from work, but itunes does not catch that, obviously.

New album has a VU-type song with some Bowie-style horns that I like.

Judgmental nerd punk's not dead.

Content, that's what you'd call it
An infant screaming in every room in your gut
...
For this year it became harder to be tender
Harder and harder to remember
Meeting a friend, writing a letter
Being lost, antique ritual
All lost to the ceremony of progress
Like essential organs removed
They're only weighing you down, you don't need 'em
Ignore this part, it's an advertisement
These people are famous, I'd trust 'em

I met this guy once when he was in another band, and I really liked his songs but something about him made me feel kind of nauseous. Possibly that he looks like the guy my ex dated before me who was a scumbag. At some point I am going to run into that guy (ex's ex, not Andrew Savage) if I keep seeing college friends in New York. Ugh.

Yeah, I like last.fm's charting capability, but the primary venue for music for me is my car, and that's not captured.

Homer and Jethro anyone?

Not sure I've ever actually heard Homer and Jethro before. That was quite funny.

Yeah, not really what I had expected either.  More sophisticated humor and more musical virtuosity than I expected.
