i love people who tell me about new bands. They are normally really nice.
my favourite bands/artists are sufjan stevens, okkervil river and yann tiersen, but recently i have been looking for something more fun. Recommend me some similar bands or some fun bands (recently i have been listening to matt & kim and kap bambino)

stricken city
they are amazing
when i think of sufjan i think playful and totally naive
you might like these:
talking heads
flaming lips
i've listened to
both of them. i'm not really so fond of the flaming lips but apparently i've been listning to the wrong albums, any album recommendations?
"Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" and
"Soft Bulletin" are great Flaming Lips LPs
________________________________________________
Talking Heads; any of these:
Speaking In To Tongues
Talking Heads 77'
More Songs About Buildings and Food
Fear Of Music
Remain In Light
The Name Of The Band Is Talking Heads
the Shout Out Louds
especially their album "our ill wills"
it's hard to find people who don't appreciate this album
