sofia coppola also recommends phoenix, but they really aren't my thing. too poppy? i know them from the erlend oye dj kicks mix.
stuff on vinyl is cool if it hasn't been released in CD/mp3 form, or you happen to be a DJ. otherwise, what's the point? of course, there is a LOT of great music on vinyl, 45s, 78s and even cylinders.
i like m83 and sufjan. bloc party is pretty boring. clap hands is pretty good, but i'm not surprised that their show was so-so.
recent releases i like include devendra banhart and animal collective. this is no striking revelation. an interesting new (to me) band i heard recently is celestine. they are from sveeden. also broken spindles has some good tunes. anyone heard of mylo? album leaf? can't think of much else...i actually haven't listened to "indie" that much lately.
