I freaking love The Avalanches. I just heard them for the first time last summer and fell in love with their funky fresh sound. You have to check out "Frontier psychiatrist". It took me awhile but I finally figured out the beginning of the song was a sample from the John Waters movie Polyester. It rocks. It's actually my myspace theme song. (Feel free to laugh). Anyhow awesome find.

The Avalanches are great. Colleen's right; Frontier Psychiatrist is a great song, as is this one.

You really should've posted the "Frontier Pyschiatrist" video instead, just because you can actually claim some Baltimore-related content with that song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8BWBn26bX0
