Ooh nice collection.

I'd recommend The Black Keys. Thickfreakness or Rubber factory are my favourites but the new album Attack and Release is excellent too, and it's produced by Danger Mouse.

Wilco fits like a glove with the likes of Bright Eyes, Death Cab, Willy Mason and to a lesser extent Radiohead

Orizio

Get The Kinks (Arthur for a start) and The Zombies (Odyssey & Oracle) and prepare to thank me.

reganovich

Great taste in music...practically my own.

Try
Stellastarr - Stellastarr
Josh Rouse - 1972
Nouvelle Vague - A Bande apart
Pauline Croze - Pauline Croze

Suitably hip, yet genuinely good..enjoy

Definitely check these guys out. Not well known over here, but were fantastic when they supported Final Fantasy (only time I've ever bought a support act CD). Some of the songs on their album (Blasphemy springs to mind) are wonderful.

Ah come on now, they're alright but that Nintendocore 8 bit sound has been around for quite some time, all it is is breakcore mixed with punk vocals. In fact her vocals are sh*t, it just gives indie heads an excuse to like it.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.

My Ipod currently contains just the albums reccommended to me here*

I will try and provide feedback in a day or two, it takes me a while to get into stuff



* plus illinois & Skeletal lamping, I could not do without them.

0ubliette

Needs more Early day miners. In particular, Let us garlands bring & Offshore.

Kold

OK my suggestions based on your list;
The Notwist
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club,
Tom Waits
Cat Power
Battles
The Good The Bad and the Queen,
Anthony & the Johnsons
Ani DiFranco

But if you ask me, you need a bit more electronic in your life

DavidLive

Hmm... I'm liking this list myself, and when I have a good long thought about it, I'll post a couple dozen few artist names you may like.

I'm not trying to take it off topic, but since you've iTunes, update it to the latest version and use "Genius" (the iTunes Store connecting bit) and let you be identified which artists you may like, based on tracks you enjoy. It's occasionally quite good.

Oh, and just to tide you over, because I like them...

Mew
Pixies
The Postal Service

loyatemu

needs more Welsh music

Super Furry Animals (try Radiator or Rings around the World)
Gorky's Zygotic Mynci (Spanish Dance Troupe)

NicOda

Tokyo Police Club
The Spinto Band
Malajube- check out Montreal -40..great video too
Feist
Regina Spektor
Currents

11811

A bit of Jeffery Lewis i'd say...

Illkillya

Good thread, ShoulderChip you have a similar taste to myself so I am looking forward to listening to a few of these recommendations. Definitely get The Shins "Oh Inverted World", Eels, The Dandy Warhols, The Flaming Lips, The Beta Band.
