Two bands you should know

1. Lucky Soul. 1950s pop, complete with do-whaps, brass, organ, strings, and songs about summer love. They released a series of singles/EPs, and their full length debut earlier this year was the excellent The Great Unwanted. Give any of the offerings on their myspace site a try, very representitive of their style. (Also streamable FOR FREE from the best kept secret on the net, free napster.)

2. Walker Kong. Minneapolis-based band, so that should be enough right there. Can't speak to their earlier stuff, but Deliver Us From People is pretty solid. And, Andy Warhol and the Honeybees is quite possibly my favorite track of the year. Also accessible from their myspace site.
