artist/bands starting with C - De

favorites
Castledoor
aww so bright and peppy and twee but in a good way. from LA.
Coreysan
spacey yet cool reggae song from Taricqua, Trinidad and Tobago. I checked out more of his work at his Sonicbids site. I recommend listening to "Top of the Mountain;" the other songs have too much of an 80's MTV late-night feel too me. Really cool how he adds more electronic and rock flair to the usual cafe world music fluff.
Cyne
rap from Gainesville, Florida. Cool jazzy beat, and lightsabers are mentioned early in the song.
Designer Drugs
get your New York City horror-rave on with the track "Zombies!"

rock
Capsula
moody, dark, midtempo cool from Bilbao.
Dexter Romweber Duo
Chapel Hill, NC band with low-fi rock 'n roll sound

funky
Café Funquê
funk-lined jazzy rock from Rio de Janeiro
Codebreaker
kitschy electronic fun from Milwaukee

pop
Caracol
cute French pop from Montreal
Susanna Chouffel
there's something to this radio-friendly folksy alternative pop tune. From Austin.

hip-hop
Classified
very different down-tempo hip-hop, with soft-pop touches and bongos. From Enfield, NS
Common Market
rapper from Seattle.

r&b
Bart Davenport
r&b with hints of twee. Slow jam on a Sunday afternoon. Simple, similar to many songs, but something about it is special. From Berkeley.

electronic/dance
CLP
alright stuff from Berlin

folkish
The Devil Makes Three
Bluesy midtempo alt-country from Davis.

experimental
Delicious
avant-classical business. From Austin.

oddities
Chip Pope
just bizarre
Cosmopolitan
some lo-fi vocals with crazy electro Britrock feel and random metal screams. From Hermosillo, Mexico.
DD/MM/YYYY
avant-garde atmosphere in a whirlwind, hippie hipster vocals and guitars. From Toronto.
Delhi 2 Dublin
What the Vancouver band's name says. With some other sounds thrown in.

unrelated: who was a dork and stayed up until 4:30 AM (with a nap from 11 ~ 1:30 ish) reading Henry James stories?
I was.
at least I didn't stay up late due to internet mucking-about or procrastining on homework
