<p>Lately, I’ve been “down” on new music so I’ve been spending a little extra time disocvering new stuff. What I discover, often, isn’t new at all. The following are the groups I’ve fallen in love with, but many, many years after everyone (… they’re certainly not for everyone) else has:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href=”http://www.amazon.com/Neutral-Milk-Hotel/e/B000APWWEM/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1314276290&amp;sr=1-1″>Neutral Milk Hotel</a> – Discovered via Pandora. Haven’t released anything in over a decade.</li>
<li><a href=”http://www.amazon.com/Beirut/e/B00197GQUG/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_2?qid=1314276267&amp;sr=1-2″>Beirut</a> – Discovered via Spotify. Been around since 2006 making more or less the same stuff. Absolutely love it.</li>
<li><a href=”http://www.amazon.com/The-Decemberists/e/B000APSOUI/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1314276249&amp;sr=1-1″>The Decemberists</a> – Discovered via a coworker. Still making new stuff that I don’t particularly enjoy, but their 2007 stuff has been in my regular playlist for a year or two.</li>
<li><a href=”http://www.amazon.com/Death-Cab-for-Cutie/e/B000APLFOU/ref=ntt_mus_dp_pel”>Death Cab For Cutie</a> – Discovered via Pandora. Still making new stuff that I enjoy, but I like them most circa 2005.</li>
</ul>
<p>You ever experience this?</p>
<p>And since I’ve got your attention, I ought to take this time to also share my other favorite bands of the moment that you [possibly] may have not heard of:</p>
