I received an e-mail from Magnus Larsson who records under the name Pet Politics. Seems Magnuss has been busy as he also e-mailed Swedes Please! However I actually downloaded his stuff before I got the e-mail and was well impressed. Not sure I hear the same influences as Swedes Please does although Galaxie 500 does ring a bell. I certainly can hear a bit of Guy Chadwick/House Of Love in there. See (hear?) what you think:
Pet Politics - In My Head
Pet Politics - The Cold Wind Blows
Talking of Swedes Please I came across an excellent blog called Microlips via them which features music from mainly Sweden as well as Finland, Estonia and Latvia at present.
I was well taken with the garage band Les Diamants who, judging by the track "Boob", could well be Estonia's answer to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs with a bit of the Distillers thrown in just to make sure. It's a great blues rawk track.

If, after all that, you still want something to listen too then I recommend Radio Indie Pop. It is an online radio station which plays a wide range of artists under the "indie" genre from indie pop to shoegazing. It's just a shame that you cannot stream the station in your own player of choice rather than having the actual page open.
Finally another blog covering indie is Indie For Dummies. It's written in Italian but don't let that put you off as they have featured the likes of Sons & Daughters and The New Pornographers recently.
