Space for rent

So this is going to be what i hope will become a small but regular feature of this blog. I am without question a music geek, it's one of the reasons i do what i do for a living. I've found myself recently beginning to drift back to perusing Myspace, i think one of the reasons for this is since it's become usurped in the social networking stakes by the likes of Facebook it seems to be back to being a very good resource for finding interesting bands without all of the rest of the clutter. In this case i'm going to try and list a "b0bby's top 5ive" of bands that catch my ear. I know full well i'll be way behind the curve on some of these but it's really going to be a kind of, as and when i find them kind of thing.
So, here goes:

PAPADUB

Great, Leeds based roots music, including a track called "Honest Wranglin" as a homage i assume to the great Ernest Ranglin of Jamaica (who incidentally I'm going to see in a couple of days time but more on that later).

MR. CONFUSE

Fantastic funk band from Hannover in Germany.

JAPANTHER

I think I'm a little slow on the uptake with these guys, but they're energy filled indie kids from Brooklyn.

BRUCE PENINSULA

These guys have got loads of press here lately, lots of strings and folkie style pop goodness.

DEADMAU5

Because everyone loves people with numbers in their names, it's also pretty sweet house music with a heavy detroit influence, good times.
