I know this band has been mentioned on this list recently but I wanted to add my 2 cents.... The cd by Spearmint which is called "A Different Lifetime" is really brilliant. They remind me of The Trembling Blue Stars/The Field Mice meet The Lightning Seeds/Lilac Time....and most of the bands that were on the Sarah label. Another great new-ish cd is "Oh Inverted World" by The Shins. They kind of remind me of Zumpano (for those of you who know who they are - really melodic, almost Zombies-ish)and the masterpiece by Cardinal (Eric Matthews/Richard Davies). I'm a little late in singing my praises....but "Properties Of Sound" by The Nines is soooooooo great. Think XTC at their most melodic. MB
