Still more music I've been listening to: Psapp, the Chromatics, Beirut, Sharon Jones

Now that we're done with the grunge all-time top 40, here are some more snapshots of bands I've been listening to lately. (If you want to catch up with earlier editions of this feature, try this link.)

As usual, each "youtube" link goes to one of their songs (in extra-large format -- click on the screen if you want the regular format), and each "myspace" or "website" link goes to their official profile with free streaming songs.

Psapp -- "toytronica" by spousal duo

The Chromatics -- like Blondie on tranquilizers

Beirut -- like Rufus Wainwright leading a boisterous singalong at some party in the 19th century

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings (photo) -- like the last 3 or 4 decades never happened
