Ok, so when my ex left he took 95% of the cd collection with him :(

I have to replace all the obvious, the PJ, the AIC, Soundgarden etc but I'm also looking to move on and I want some new stuff that's my own.

Anyone got any recommendations for me?
I'll listen to anything once so don't be shy :)


I'm currently listening to Sigur Ros, The Audreys and Feist and I love it.

Any ideas?

    Have you given Wilco a try?
    Perhaps starting with their live album Kicking Television to get a flavor of their many songs?

    Yes, you music check out Wilco if you haven't already. If you're a Wilco fan, give Uncle Tupelo a try.

    A few more suggestions :
    Califone - Roots & Crowns
    Songs: Ohia - The Magnolia Electric Co
    Dr. Dog - We All Belong
    Kathleen Edwards - Back to Me
    Midlake - The Trials of Van Occupanther
    Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood

    I'm looking for anything different really. Something I won't neccessarily have heard of before.

    Maybe you should try this little band from seattle named Pearl...

    Just kidding Minus the Bear another great seattle band with a bit of a different sound but very talented indeed.

    Check out the album Highly Refined Pirates. They create a warm soundscape with their instruments and the guitar playing is excellent and has a unique flavor to it. THe vocals and lyrics are perhaps are not the best ever but they are not a let down either. Great song tittles too. They just throw out some crazy names. Absinthe Party if i remember correctly is a very good song another one is Thanks for the Killer Game of Crisco Twister.

    The Reminder by Feist is pretty damn sweet. Reminds me a lot of Fiona Apple/Amy Whinehouse combo.

    Anybody know about her other records, are they good?
