I have been looking for new music (not for the holidays mind you) and I have stumbled on quite a few interesting things. Some of these bands fit the Alfredo criterion (which is not that high) of good music.
First off its Matisyahu which is basically this Hasidic jew singing reggae music. He sings a really badass song called “King Without A Crown”, and if you see the video on his website you will hear the version he played live at STUBBS.
The second one is called The Chalets they are basically very popish and glam rock oriented. The two girls are kinda cute, well one is hot the other one is ok. If you see their video for the song “Feel The Machine” you will reminisce a bit of Le Tigre and The Sounds. They are really cool and like I said if you see the video you can also find a slight connection with Apple Computers.
The third band is a called The 69 Eyes. They’re from Finland and the play a lot like the band HIM, with only more balls, at least from the singer. They are really cool, they play their own brand of love metal intended for broader audiences which might not be too familiar with Scandinavian leather (that’s how love metal is classified in Finland and such places). But the singers voice is really badass, imagine the music of HIM sung by Dracula. Check ‘em out.
The fourth and final band is called Carpark North. Carpark north is kind of electro trashy with style. Its like hearing a trashier version of Placebo with vocals like the singer of Muse and the singer of Mew had a lovechild. The song “Human” is fucking cool. The video is on the website, you figure it out.

And finally something that has nothing to do with music but has to do with iPods.
See for yourself.
