Top 5 music-ers I like lately

BDub introduced me to Kid Cudi (left). I'd heard one of his songs but BDub encouraged the album. Quality, innovative, earnest "hip-hop" about things besides drugs, hos, etc.

I like when friends recommend good musica.

Here are my top 5 in the last run:
1. Avett Brothers - contemporary bluegrass-y
2. Last Shadow Puppets - Indie-ish and a tad sappy - unique sound, vocalist
3. Sunset Rubdown featuring Spencer Krug - snapping, biting lyrics and "riffs" - indie wouldn't be fair but rock just doesn't fit either
4. Cienfue - Spanish, has a mad guitarist
accompanied by some sort of twinkling chimes - Havent met a white person yet that didn't go nuts over them
5. Kid Cudi - from Cleveland and gives homage to Bone Thugs as well as his dead father - also mentions Cleveland Plains Dealer (newspaper) in a song, which won points for me
* Honorable Mention: Jurassic 5 - someone gave me the anthology recently. I'm 8 years behind, but damn, these boys are like the more polite Wu-Tang


Feel free to share, err, please share...
