I am enjoying the new Girl Talk record far more than is reasonable. I can not wait for the drunken dance parties that are certain to follow putting this on at night.You can download for free, or donate and get higher quality rips, from the website:

Wow, Allie, that's normally the kind of music I have loaded on my iPod as well. Normally I try to mix my listening choices with some indie and classics. Lately, I've added some Parliament/Funkadelic to the mix, because I need to free my ass.
If you can, try looking for a band called Viva Voce. They're from Atlanta, I believe, a husband & wife duo that rock out harder than the White Stipes. Good shit.

I love it (though it's not all that helpful for your problem, sorry) that this may be the first time I started randomly listing off some of my favorite bands to someone whose music taste I didn't already know, and it turns out that person was already listening to a bunch of my favorite indie and indie-turned-major-label bands!And Logan, keep spreading the Menomena love! They've got a couple of side projects worth checking out, too: Lackthereof has been around for a couple of years, and Faux Hoax (great name!) is the brand new one.
Gus, Viva Voce is all Portland. They do a kick-ass cover of The Alan Parsons Project's Eye In The Sky! (They've got a new side project too! But I can't remember the name, they just did their first show a week ago here in PDX.)
If you can't find the Eye In The Sky cover, google Bridging The Distance (a stellar compilation of covers of what various portland bands consider "classic rock"; it's a benefit for a local agency that brings arts to homeless and disadvantaged kids). Or if that fails, PM me and I'll get it to you.While the Faux Hoax track I've got is pretty good, don't skip over Menomena just to get to the side projects!
My current obsession is The Maybe Happening, but they self-released their first album, and they were too lazy to sit at the merch table at the show tonight. Damnit, if it's not available in local stores (or even CDbaby.com), you better damn sell it at your show!
HOLY CRAP LISA! I know the Maybe Happening! I went to school with Nathan, the violinist/poet who was really big in the slam poetry scene in Eugene before moving up to PDX and starting The Maybe Happening. They played at my friend's wedding at the Oregon Country Fairgrounds (beautiful setting, BTW). I had no idea anyone had ever heard of them, or that they were even still playing together. Moving away from OR definitely makes it hard to keep up, crazy hippies and their lack of internet connection.I just looked at their MySpace and saw that they're a trio now. I have an early recording of them from when they were just a duo called the Truck Stop Sessions. I compressed it an uploaded it to Mediafire. You can download it here:

Oh, kick ass! Thanks! I'll have to check that out.Nathan fascinates me. Is he always like that? He's like a wind-up toy that never winds down. He also plays violin for my friend Nick Jaina, and Nathan totally makes the live show. He gets the audience to sing along, and conducts with his bow.
As far as I know, he's always been like that. The man has a charisma and a charm that get crowds hopelessly excited, I love it.

Late to the party, but if you want to branch out a bit how about classical and jazz? Jazz, especially, is what dominated the US music scene for something like 40 years, and there's a reason for that. Can't go wrong with anything by Duke Ellington or Louis Armstrong (though the sound quality may not be the best sometimes), might also try Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, or Charles Mingus. As for classical, there's so much out there that even if you think of it as elevator music there's bound to be something you'll like. Myself, i'm partial to Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, and JS Bach, among others.
I'm highly suggest the newest Nickelback album.
argh! i cannot agree with Tom at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry but i can't you just named my dad's all time favorite jazz musicians argh!!!!!!!! scarred for life i can't do the whole jazz scene sorry!
mmm borderline infraction Erin...
Borderline due to hating on jazz, gratuitous use of exclamation marks, or both?
both and the use of things like jk/jk lol and whatnot.
I’m not a huge jazz fan, but I am leary of anyone who dislikes Louis Armstrong.
My dad mostly listens to country and church music (NOT contemporary christian music, but church choir sung from the hymnal type music) so i can't really criticize on that score as i don't have much enthusiasm for his music. Though i have to admit, Johnny Cash kicks ass. Or would if he wasn't dead.
Hooverphonics , Sufjan Stevens and the Flight of the Concords( for your laughing pleasure)
I hate Death Cab for Cutie. And I hate their stupid name.
i swear they follow me! i can't even turn on the radio without hearing "I will possess your heart..."Damn it! a trap!
their new season is starting soon no?
Come on sucker lick my battery...
the human are dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead...
Maybe I'll go watch that. I've only watched the last two episodes about five times.
Logan recomended the Ruby Suns, who are fantastic... and Flight of the Choncords. I like that people like New Zealand Stuff. Check out the Tiger Tones for lovely pop-ness.tangent of music stuff....noisey wierdness - Nurse With Wound, Peter Wright, Coil. Om, Six organs of admitance, Earth... all different-ish kinda stuff.
