So i found some good music today on Sirius Left of Center. 

Cut Copy- indie electronic sound to them  http://youtube.com/watch?v=CCRuCAcAZK0
Crystal Castles- use a atari 5200 soundchip http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q_agDGVHi54
The National- sound similar to Interpol(huge fan of Interpol thanks to Dio)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgRsYkKb1eI

and apparently i completely missed the band Pavement thru the 90's

I too never got into Pavement...and having missed the boat back then, I don't quite get it now.  They're good but I'm not bonkers for them like so many people are...

I've been loving The National since I lived in the Bronx.  I really dig the tune Daughters of the Soho Riots from their album Alligator.  Or is it on Boxer?  Don't recall...anyway..it's low key..moreso thatn Interpol, and not exactly cheery, but I like the melodies and lyrics a lot and the singer's delivery is spooky/unique spot on.

Im getting more into the indie scene, Interpol was really the first i liked, and its spiraled from there

Listening to Left of Center and Jeffrey Lewis- End Result played.  The Lyrics sound like some of the posters here.  Take a Guess

Quote
I am a product
I am a symbol of endless hopeless fruitless aimless games
I'm a glossy package on the market shelf
My contents aren't fit for human consumption
I could practically injure your perfect health
My ingredients will seize up your body's functions

I'm the dirt that everyone walks on
I am the orphan that nobody wants
I am the stair that everyone walks on
I am the leper that nobody wants to touch (much)

I am a sample
I am a scapegoat of useless futureless endless mindless ideas
I'm the number on a paper you file away
I'm a portfolio that you stick in the drawer
I'm the fool you try and scare when you say:
"We know all about you of that you can be sure"

Well I don't want your crazy system
I don't want to be on your files
Your temptations I try to resist them

Because I know what hides beneath your smiles

I am a topic
I am a subject for useless futureless endless mindless debates
You think of ways that you can hide me from the naive eyes of your figurehead
But don't you find that it ain't easy?
Wouldn't you love to see me dead?
Your answer is to give me treatment for crying out when you give me pain
Leave me with no possible remnant
You poke your knives into my brain

I'm an example
I'm no hero of the great intelligent magnificent human race
I'm part of the race that could all spare possesions

Part of the race that's wiping itself out
I'm part of the race that's got crazy obsessions
Like locking people up not letting them out

I hate the living dead and their working factories
They go like sheep to their production lines
They live on illusions; don't face the realities
All they live for is that big blue sign that says:
"Ford"

I'm bored, bored, bored

I am a product
I am a symbol of endless hopeless fruitless aimless games
I am a sample
I am a scapegoat of useless futureless endless mindless ideas
I am a topic
I am a subject for useless futureless endless mindless debates
I'm an example
I'm no hero of the great intelligent magnificent human race
(The great intelligent magnificent human race)
The great intelligent magnificent human race

Prince's "Raspberry Beret," (the kind you find in a second hand store), is stuck in my head.  All because I grabbed a Raspberry yogurt for my lunchbox, damnit.

Bought a CD of TOOL songs that are converted to lullabies for my daughter to listen too. The g/f thought regular TOOL was a little too much.

I like that they're lullabies but still dark and creepy

Portishead- Third.

Beth Gibbons seems like she is in perpetual pain. Blended with the beats and sounds is perfect.

Being a portishead fan I'm going to be biased and say this album is pretty dope. It seems like each song touches on a different emotion. Anyways.....Machine Gun is my favorite track.
