First up, Detroit's quality indie pop outfit PAS/CAL did "The Bronze Beached Boys (Come On Let's Go)" from their 2003 The Handbag Memoirs EP (iTunes, Amazon). Then the my absolute favorite New York band pretending to be a Japanese pop band from the 60's, Gaijin a Go Go did "Soul-chan" from their brand spankin' new album Go-Go Boot Camp which as best I can tell isn't available online yet, but I'm sure it will be soon, so keep checking their site. Next Los Angeles' oft-Nico-esque Lavender Diamond did "Rise in the Springtime" from their lovely The Cavalry of Light EP (online store). And finally Los Angeles-based duet The Submarines did "Peace and Hate" from their debut Declare a New State (iTunes).
