Again, all this slagging of mediocre indie-kiddie pop shit bands like killers & bravery ahs made me want to redress the balance by offering the alternative. Soulseek / Limewire / Bearshare / whatever eppl - raise your jolly roger flag and set sail...

Xiu Xiu - Hives Hives / Clowne Towne / I luv the Valley OH!
Nina Nastasia - All your life / stormy weather
Patrick Wolf - Bloodbeat / Lycanthropy / Don't say No
Idaho - Fuel / Wondering The Fields / If You Dare
Red House Painters - Grace Cathedral Park / Make Like Paper / Katy Song
Throwing Muses - Teller / Snake / Honeychain
Tom Waits - Better Off Without a Wife / Alice / Shore Leave
Bjork - Frosti & Aurora / Mouth's Cradle / Hyperballad

...

Some of this music makes my world go around.
