Want to Impress Your Friends? Or have them think you're a total loser? (electronic, alternative)

Well, this certainly gives me something to do.

I'm loving We All Have Hooks for Hands, though I'm partial to the song "The Man Trying to Outfox us All". I haven't had a chance to check out the last four yet...

92. Belaire "Exploding, Impacting"

Members of Fancy Feast, Voxtrot, and Arkay. The gentleness of Maria Taylor combined with the dancieness of danceness? Yes. They describe themselves as prog synth-pop.
Favorite Song: You Really Got Me Goin'
MySpace.com - Belaire - AUSTIN, Texas - Indie / Electro / Pop - www.myspace.com/belaire

91. Lullatone "Little Songs About Raindrops"

Japanese electronic/indie-pop due describe themselves as "Pajama pop" I don't know how accurate it is, but they have a very cutesy sound that can be oddly creepy.
Favorite Song: Leaves Falling

90. Califone "Roots & Crowns"

A genius blend of modern electronic music with electric guitars blended very well roots music. Kind of reminds me of My Morning Jacket except better and much more creative.
Favorite Song: The Eye You Lost in the Crusade
MySpace.com - califone - CHICAGO, IL / LOS ANGELES, CA - Blues / Experimental / Folk - www.myspace.com/califonemusic

89. Trainwreck "Trainwreck"

It's like His Hero is Gone if they decided they were a European Screamo band, much love people. I don't know whether to call them hardcore influenced emo or emo influenced hardcore.

Califone is great. You're safe diving into most of their output, but I'll also recommend Quicksand/Cradlesnakes.

91.Black Bear "The Cinnamon Phase"

Very fun and upbeat electronic act, I'm kind of tired so my definitions are going to suck if their isn't too much history behind the act.
Favorite Song: Flicker Wings
MySpace.com - Black Bear - Shoreditch, London - Indie / Rock / Electro - www.myspace.com/blackbear

90. Fruit Bats "Mouthfuls"

Eric Johnson of the Shins side project and funnily enough they sound a lot like the Shins. They're not as good but after playing what Shins album I had to death in 2006 this was a very welcome album because it was new.
Favorite Song: Rainbow Sign
MySpace.com - Fruit Bats - Visual / Bluegrass - www.myspace.com/thefruitbats

89. Zion I "Mind Over Matter"

I don't know what to say other than this is just a really solid album. Good production, beats and everything. It's pretty immediate also but doesn't get tiring.
Favorite Song: Critical
MySpace.com - ZION-I - THE CITY OF DOPE, California - Hip Hop / Rap / Alternative - www.myspace.com/zioni

88. Electric President "Electric President"

Nice soft electronica in the way of the Postal Service but with acoustic guitars too.
Favorite Song: Good Morning, Hypocrite
MySpace.com - Electric President - Indie - www.myspace.com/morrelectric
