Just a semi-random list, in no particular order.... mainly American and British indie bands (and some solo artists)... mainly newer bands and some older artists but who are currently active in recording and performing, especially those who have recently released a stunning piece of work, especially people i have seen recently in person... some hard rock, some more folky, a few hip hop artists... some artists are in several bands but are only listed once but i probably like everything they're in... yep, kind of a sausage party and overwhelmingly white, but, what can you do... for me it all comes down to some dude with a guitar in the end...

the above videos were shot by thissmallplanet (mikedx1): The Smith Westerns, Wavves, Conor Oberst, M.I.A., Tom Morello, Jack White, The Black Keys, The Smashing Pumpkins, Arctic Monkeys, Odd Future, Queens of The Stone Age, Black Francis/The Pixies...
