Fiery Furnaces. That bitch sounds schizophrenic the first eight or nine listens.

Soulja Boy.

I like Opal, prefer Mazzy Star, and prefer Hope + The Warm Inventions to both. Never heard Kendra Smith, I'll have to check it out. Thanks.

Mazzy Star, Hope Sandoval, Regina Spektor is often upbeat, but listen to Soviet Kitsch, especially "Somedays" -- quite bleak. Mum, especially "Finally, We Are No One." Early Garbage if you want to go a little more mainstream. Autour de Lucie; Hunt down the songs "Noyes Dans la Masse" and "Je...

Might as well get cozy with the whole Def Jux label. Then check out Prefuse 73, cLOUDDEAD, Doseone, Busdriver, Odd Nosdam, Boom Bip, all them *****. Never been a big fan of Sage, Aesop and them. Don't know why.

You could tryyyyyyy...oh, Basement Jaxx. RED ALERT!

Abstrackt Keal Agram, Prefuse 73, DJ Shadow, RJD2, Aim, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Massive Attack, etc. Amazon has a handy "who sounds like this" function.

I think the mp3 (and digital archiving in general) is terrific for the consumer. The ability to either rip high quality music from a CD I've purchased or steal it from P2P networks has allowed me to amass a collection in a few months that would have taken years on what I make as a student. Also...
