Holy Crap - I used to listen to Link 80 back in my angsty ska highschool days. That's funny, i hadn't thought about that band in YEARS.
So everyone mentions the BSS crew, and there was an analogy to fiest as the Neko Case of BSS. But I'm uncertain that it's her as much as it's Emily Haines. Emily Haines is the vocal you hear on "anthems of a 17..." and is mentioned above in her newest band, "emily haines and the soft skeleton." Haven't seen her other band mentioned - Metric. I personally much prefer Metric to Soft Skeleton, but they're totally different sounds. Not to mention that she's absolutely beautiful, and when she's up on stage in a little white dress banging away on the keyboard, it just makes her that much hotter.
Speaking of Radiohead, I just got tix to go see them outside DC coming up, and i'll definitely be seeing them twice at "all points west" festival in NYC. They're headlining Friday and Saturday night. I can't wait.
My "indie" obsession: Okkervil River. If you haven't heard them, go take a listen. They are far and away my favorite band. If you like arcade fire or decemberists, or Neutral milk hotel - it would probably be in your best interest to get into them. You can thank me later.
