Don’t anyone forget about our 2nd podcast. My wife even joined in on this one. You can subscribe to the feed subscribe to the feed or just download it here.

So I signed up for a Myspace profile a few months ago, and since then many bands have used that as a way to introduce me to their music. Other bands have simply sent me CD’s that I always (eventually) listen to. Some of that music you have already seen featured here (Big Buildings, Dirty Little Secret, The Brokedown, etc…), while some of it is not really right for CYSTSFTS? (read: it is plain bad or I just don’t like it).

There is (however) a lot of music I’ve heard via Myspace that is quite good, but that I can’t really devote an entire post to. So I would recommend checking out all the varied artists below and giving their tunes a listen. You can almost always hear more of them by visiting their Myspace pages.

Typhoon is from Portland, Oregon and has their debut album out now on Boy Gorilla Records. RIYL: Broken Social Scene, Neutral Milk Hotel, etc…

MP3 | Typhoon – Rolling Credits

Los Olvidados (which can be translated as “the forgotten ones” or something like that) is a rock band from Moorpark, CA. I really like this song. RIYL: Old 97’s, Tom Petty, etc…

MP3 | Los Olvidados – Pacifist

L.A. rapper/spoken word artist Ed Mecija was kind enough to send me his self-released EP a few weeks back. The lo-fi production adds a charming element to his unique lyrical style. If you like beats check this guy out. RIYL: Saul Williams, intelligent hip-hop, etc…

MP3 | Ed Mecija – Beautiful Friend

Austin, Texas’ She Sir is a duo making old-school shoegazer pop music for the year 2006. RIYL: My Bloody Valentine, Jesus And Mary Chain, etc…

MP3 | She Sir – You Can’t Change A Thing

Idle Vice is a punk/hardcore band from Long Island, NY. They are unsigned and will self-release a 5-song EP on July 25th. RIYL: Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, etc…

MP3 | Idle Vice – Vain

Hello Defective is an indie pop rock band from Oklahoma that will get you tapping your toes. RIYL: Flaming Lips, a modern version of The Beatles, etc…

MP3 | Hello Defective – Plastic Hearts

The Black Black Black is another Portland, Oregon-based band that knows how to rip shit up. RIYL: early Modest Mouse, dirty indie-rock, etc…

MP3 | The Black Black Black – The In

From Wilmington, DE, The Sky Drops are like a fuzzed-out shoegazer version of The White Stripes. RIYL: MBV, Smashing Orange, etc…

MP3 | The Sky Drops – Green To Red

Low Lustre hails from Minneapolis, Minnesota and knocks out some killer indie rock tunes. RIYL: Summerteeth era Wilco, Beat Radio, etc…

MP3 | Low Lustre – Dancing Blind
