    ']my discoveries:

    Brendan benson
    Bright Eyes
    The Decemberists
    Low
    Wolf Parade
    The New Pornographers
    The Magic Numbers

    The Decemberists are fantastic. I just got into them in the last year too. On a similar vein of mellow/folksy music, I started to like Iron & Wine and Kings of Convenience. Other bands I discovered recently are Spoon, Interpol, Arcade Fire, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Ben Harper, and Kaiser Chiefs.

    Artists I had heard of but only recently started to listen to include Flaming Lips, Beck, Bob Dylan, Guster, John Frusciante's solo stuff, System of a Down, and the White Stripes.

    Hey, that's also an other band I got into last year, loved their album to the bone... is always good to hear The Sporting Life early in the morning, after it you only expect the worst... and in that way it's easier to think your day was better than expected.
