Jimmy Tamborello Vol 1 and 2; Strictly Ballroom and Figurine

Jimmy Tamborello is the mastermind behind bands such as Dntel, The Postal Service, Dublab, Figurine and Strictly Ballroom. He has been a part of a number of projects over the years, so im splitting his discography into volumes for organization purposes. These are his first two bands, and they're probably my favorites. 

Strictly Ballroom is an emo band started in the mid 90's when Tamborello was a DJ at Los Angelas's KXLU. They released 2 EPs and one LP before moving on to other projects.

Tony Molina and the Ovens

Tony Molina is the frontman of the San Francisco band Ovens (aka Pinkerton: The Band), who formed sometime around 2003 and may or may not have broken up. Tony has developed a solid fuzz heavy sound over the years, meeting somewhere in between Rivers Cuomo and J Mascis, but with obvious influence from bands like The Dead Milkmen and Guided by Voices (as evidenced by his choice in cover songs). This year he released his first solo album "Dissed and Dismissed"on Melters, so buy it. www.ovenssf.com

Alex G and The Skin Cells

Alex G is a young dude from philadelphia. He releases music solo as well as with his band the Skin Cells. Literally all this dude's stuff is amazing, reminding me at different times of artists like Sebadoh, Carissa's Wierd, Elliott Smith, Dntel, Alden Penner and Adam Green (but mainly just because they look alike to me). All his stuff is pay what you want, so throw the homie some $$$ if you can. www.facebook.com/sandyalexg
