spring crushes

[emchy]

I am in the midst of developing many crushes for spring.
Lilac crushes
Work crushes (awesome new film coming, awesome new structure coming)
and mostly

music crushes.
see on friday my music brain got the adrenaline happy shot from Yankee Sheila who were at QOM
and so I listened to their main band Dandelion Junk Queens. and then last night got in a Zorn conversation and got so excited... and it's uphill from here. (music + vitamins is good for that depression shit too I am discovering)

I now have a list of bands that I want want want the music from
I am allowing myself to buy some at the end of the month
Until then I am a woman obsessed with accordion earworms

Do you know these bands? Have more to recommend?
Dandelion Junk Queens
Sour Mash Hug Band
The Bad Things
Inkwell Rhythm Makers
Vagabond Opera
Circus Contraption
THAT Damned Band

I don't know those bands. I do like an irreverent klezmer band (with an accordion) called Golem. This is on the JDUB label.
