13 Tales from Urban Bohemia by the Dandy Warhols

Electric Version by the New Pornographers (also get twin cinema maybe),

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, Gimme Fiction, Kill the Moonlight, and Girls Can Tell – all by Spoon

Alive 2007 by Daft Punk and Cross by Justice (I don’t care if you hate house music this is the best of the best)

The Phenomenauts and The Aquabats are both really good if you like rockabilly kind of stuff that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

The Cardiacs are a really weird band from your part of the world that bop introduced me too, I don’t listen to them much anymore but their stuff is solid

The Pixies are pretty good, get Doolittle for sure.

REM is pretty good but they’re too “mainstream” for a lot of people.

The Avett Brothers are technically bluegrbum/alt country but make no mistake, they’ve got some amazing stuff. The only album I have by them is emotionalism, but they have some other good ones too.

This Will Destroy You is a really quiet, instrumental post-rock band that’s amazing to play in the background when you’re either high or (in my case) exhausted.

If you can find any albums by the Billy Nayer Show, download them and put them on rapidshare for me. I can never find any of their stuff.
