3. With You ā Seapony ā loopy and fun. Get more from http://seapony.bandcamp.com

10. Dust Me Off ā Tilly and the Wall ā tap dancing and vocorder ā fun. Came to Auckland last year in the silly season (late December)
11 By the Dethbridge in Lethbridge weāll make it out someday ā The Rural Alberta Advantage ā I thought this band was a bit gimmicky, but the Walkman-esque next track made me give them a second look.
12. Sleep All Day ā The Rural Alberta Advantage
13. Louisiana ā The Walkmen
14. Suerte ā Jóvenes y Sexes ā was to be a treat on my 2nd Mexican compilation, but moved it here as it fitted in ā LoFi chanteuse and guy with big hair.
15. Bride and Groom Hot Air Balloon Hop Along, Queen Ansleis ā more loopiness ā oddly engaging as a wedding takes a turn for the worse.
16. As You Wish ā Aqueduct ā if they made Saw into a musical, this would be perfect for the soundtrack.
17. Spring Jam ā Alex Bleeker and The Freaks ā the man ā Mr Low Fi himself (plays in Real Estate, mates with the guy who is Ducktales etc) here jamming with his friends.
18. Time Wastinā Woman ā The Frowning Clowns ā rockabilly
