Andrew Bird - Break It Yourself

Only because I've had more time to listen to it, but Dan Deacon and Tame Impala are right there too.

Sweet Valley - Chaos Speed

Video games and Pulp Fiction? Why yes, I'll take three.

Reptar

A friend told me about them after CMJ 2010, but this year they released their first LP (but if we are going by Grammy rules then I think Tame Impala would be appropriate).

Beach House - Teen Dream 2: Seed of Devotion

Dan Deacon at the Bluestone in Columbus, OH

I saw the bus, the trippy green skull, and I got to give the man a hug at the end. The Epcot Center ain't got shit on that ensemble.

I think it's safe to say shoegaze exists.
