Oh, I've listened to MMJ for some time now. Flew out to Denver two summers ago to see them play with the Black Keys at Red Rocks.
Evil Urges is just inaccessible to me.

I've only listened to ten bands I hadn't previously listened to, but here are my thoughts.
Tallest Man on Earth was extremely easy to get into. Same with the Low Anthem.
Miike Snow, I didn't care much for the first two listens, but I am now addicted. I guess an early confirmation really helped.
Vetiver, I enjoyed the music, but I'm not sure I will ever listen to it again. I gave it four listens, and it didn't stick.
Boys Noize is sick (trying to sound like a EDM kid). As for the hip hop, Wale is much better than that terrible production called the Knux last year. The song Pretty Girls is entirely too catchy.

If you also think Kid Cudi is a winner after the first listen, then I am.

And yeah, Evil Urges is not their best effort, thats for sure. Not arguing over your opinion, but Evil Urges is incredible. I've been a huge fan since At Dawn, and seen 'em multiple times from every tour since It Still moves. The Evil Urges tour is their best so far. perhaps if you're just getting into them Evil Urges might not do it for you? I don't, I love that album

At Dawn is probably my favorite MMJ album. You can't go wrong with Bermuda Highway followed by Honest Man.
At Dawn is also my favorite MMJ song. Yimmy played it as part of the Folksters last fall. There were about four of us going nuts when he played it. Speaking of the Folksters, Yames hair and beard was cut short. I've never seen a MMJ show without the Sammy Hagar mop.

For any Pavement supafans out there, they just played their first show. I saw the setlist, and hear you me, it was amazing.

Just picked up Eyelid Movies by Phantogram since I'm going to be seeing them open for The Antlers in early May and then possibly again at Sasquatch. Its fantastic. After Local Natives and Tallest Man its my favorite new discovery. Fans of Massive Attack and The National should check it out.

Supposedly they've prepared about 40 songs for the tour. That's only 24, so be prepared for more They're playing that!? moments.

Not much of a new discovery but I was listening to a couple of Nada Surf albums the other day. I listened to High/Low when it first came out, and while i enjoyed it I wrote them off as Weezer wannabes. Too bad it took me this long to figure out that they are not that at all! Very good albums that show maturity...but Popular is still a great song and I hope they play it live still.
