So aside from the Feelies and early Talking Heads, what bands would you put in the nervous, jittery, nerdy and angular category? (It's a new category. I just made it up.)
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.
'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Bo Diddley?

He's certaily trebly. But he doesn't sound anxious.
I'm thinking of The Embarassment, the Individuals...

Early Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson? More recently, maybe the Hold Steady and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah?

Ann, that's a ferret.
I don't know whether "nerdy" fits them, but how about Buddy Holly/Crickets, Roy Orbison, and especially Del Shannon?

Hmmm.. the Neurasthenics? (as a movement/style name, not a band, though probably it's been done).
Jonathan Richmond and the Modern Lovers. Morrissey They Might Be Giants

The Pop Group?
Quiz: "King's Lead Hat" is a word jumble for what band?
You know my band covers this, right?
Hey, does anyone need actual Feelies albums? I could upload those, too.

Brit-punk opens up a lot of jitter, actually: The Raincoats, the Au Pairs, The Fall.
