I really like, maybe love Eat Skull but don't listen to them nearly as much as I should. Love Pink Reason (cleaning my mirror or whatever it's called is great, amongst the best newer records I've heard). I think Abe Vigoda has some interesting songs but I haven't given them much listening. Psychedelic Horseshit have a lot of potential, I think, but are kind of hit or miss now. Times New Viking are.. alright. No Age bore me, I don't see anything special about them, but they're not completely terrible I guess.. probably the worst band on your list. Women are really good, that album has great melodies; one of the best of the year. Vivian Girls are another band with amazing melodies -- very simple but great, great songs. I'm not too familiar with Mika Miko, heard a few songs on myspace; didn't seem too special to be honest. I've liked pONYTail for a long time... they remind me of early Deerhoof; weird guitar catchy riffs. The vocals are pretty annoying but otherwise great band.
