Still surfing MySpace.com, and still bumping into great bands and artists. They differ, though. Take Sandie//Trash for instance, who calls herself a cross between Gainsbourg and Les Rita Mitsouko on acid. Judging from the pictures on her official site, her live-shows are as chaotic and intense like a Peaches-concert. Her music is sample-based and computer-generated, but without guitars, bass and drums you can still make a racket. Her coverversion of Jane Birkin's Jane B. is sexy in a twisted way.
Jane Birkin - Jane B.
Czech band Miou Miou have a more gentle approach, but are not afraid to turn up their guitars as well. I love the supersweet voice of singer Karoline, perfect for their catchy, sunny popsongs. Influences: Deerhoof, Velvet Underground, Gainsbourg and France Gall. Stereolab is a reference that sprang to mind the easiest. Miou Miou started in 2003 and released an ep, a single and, last May, a full album called La La Grande Finale. I've ordered that one via their site, but I'm curious if I will ever receive it. 
That Miou Miou is a fun song, and your blog is too good for words. Thank you for all of your hard work!
