Pufferfish video
I\’ve been hearing this song a lot on KEXP and found this video with the song.  Very nice, especially if you\’re into alt-country.  I really like the background vocals.  They remind me of that lonely sound from the Modest Mouse cover of Sleepwalking, which also has female backup vocals on the chorus.  Anyways.

Friends With You
I randomly found this band just from clicking around on myspace. They kinda remind me of Hooliganship mixed with Lullatone.  They definitely wish they were Japanese. It appears it\’s two guys who also make little toys and giant balloons based on the creatures in their videos.  They also had some anime-inspired thing about penguins living in medieval Japan.…
