Deus ( A great belgium band, have had 4 albums out and released their latest last September, Should be bigger than they are, more originality in their little fingers than some so called great new bands of the last 5 years)
Check out Their debut Worse Case Scenario, one review described it has a mixture of Captain Beefheart & Faith No More.
Most famous Song Little Arithmetics off their 2nd album Bar under the Sea
I'm sure people from Europe know these bands, but I doubt many Americans know of them. I only just learned about them a year ago, and they are some of my favorites.
Entwine and Turbonegro have been around a while, but they haven't toured the US, so not a lot of people know of them. You can download some Machinae Supremacy songs for free on their site.
How dark a woe! yet how sublime a hope!
How silently serene a sea of pride!
How daring an ambition! yet how deep--
How fathomless a capacity for love!
A small girl smiles...one eyelid flickers, she whips a pistol from her knickers. She aims it at the preacher's head. And run (run, bang) she shoots him dead.
seriously... they were announced as headliners for Reading and Leeds festivals and on all the NME, Q, Efestivals and Virtu forums, a million and a half indie-kids went, "Who are Pearl Jam?"
Wussy - Funeral Dress . . I think the song Crooked is my fave today!
Devotchka - Una Volta & Curse your little Heart EP. . .They are all over the place, but goodtimes!
Dykehouse - Nostalga Radar EP. . . Hope She hears this sound is straight up Yo La Tengo, and I like it.
I say new-ish because they are relatively new to me. I also can't stop listening to the *Frontin' on Debra* remix, Mos Def and Finley Quaye. I think I'm going through a twang/funk phase, is that possible?

Big Business is a mind blowing band. I think this band from Minneapolis called The Future, might just be from The Future. These Arms Are Snakes will rock your ear balls.

lay down all thoughts; surrender to the void
~it is shining it is shining~
I'm really impressed with this local band, they're called Ill Scarlet. They have a Sublime feel to thier music and this one tune, I think it's called, Police State--man, it kicks!
ya can't go wrong with any of the following bands:
Wilco
Built to Spill
Dinosaur Jr
Lemonheads
Guided by Voices/Robert Pollard
Tom Waits (can't stress this one enough....he's a genius)
the new Scott Walker record is incredible as well.

ohhh i didn't know that about the 22-20s! that was indeed a great record.
"isola" was a great record. they never really seemed to recapture that magic on other releases imo, but that one was sweet.
