Just caught up to this post in Google Reader. Don’t know if you’ll see this, but the answer is simple: KEXP’s Song of the Day podcast. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

If you like what you’re hearing, just listen to John in the Morning every day. He’s the best DJ on the best radio station in the country, so why wouldn’t you?

She Wants Revenge are adorable little pumpkinheads whose cheeks I would like to squeeze into the shapes of raw Pillsbury Crescent Rolls before I make them each heaping glasses of Ovaltine (I’ll even make it a double) before they go back upstairs to their rooms and write fake Joy Division songs about girls who cannot understand their fibrous and fractured souls, I am saying they’re freaking adorable little darlings.

But they are not indie.

@ Kook-aid man: A good friend of mine was the bass player for Blonde Redhead for awhile.

@ Everyone: Nice work. Most of it is stuff I already like to some degree, and very little stuff I don’t like, except Dinosaur Jr, but they were dicks to me once in a bowling alley, so screw them.

But really, I’m astounded at the amount of good taste in this thread. Being involved in the Seattle music community, I’m lucky enough to have decent exposure to good music, but there’s stuff in here I’d never heard of but now love. Hard-fi? Never heard of them, but holy crap they’re great.

Thanks to everyone!

@ Marcus: Ha! Dandy Warhols, indeed. My old band toured with them in the late 90s on the west coast. That was an adventure.

The latest Dinosaur Jr album was good, if you ever liked them, its more of the same.

Cold War Kids were okay, the one single is great, but the rest of the album lacks that power.

Silversun Pickups. I really loved Gish era Pumpkins. This has that feel and swaying heaviness.

The Postal Service is old news but it is still working for me.

Wolfmother is good fun. Rehash of Zep and Sabbath but today.

Amy Winehouse. Love her or hate her, ignore the drunken spectacle and dig the Motown sound again.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Countless hours of covers of every genre into fun pop punk.

with a few exceptions, not many people seemed to have actually looked at your current collection…

my thoughts for you :

for the MBV side of beautiful noise : Film School, Mogwai, Mew, Serena-maneesh, Sigur Ros, the big sleep (free mp3s up on thebigsleep.net)

J&M chain: the obvious knockoff (but still good band) would be black rebel motorcycle club.

oh! i highly recommend the new hopewell record on teepee… great stuff

also definitely check out the new bat for lashes (bjorky-esque), editors (joy-div/interpolly) , hard-fi (clash meets…hmmmm jesus jones? hehe), and the new UNKLE which has everyone from ian astbury of the cult to josh homme of QOTSA on it

phew, thats enought for now.. .and, oh yeah… robert? kill hannah and SWR are NOT INDIE ROCK. dammit :)

Use Pandora.com. It is how I find music which is similar to the music I like… automatically. Put in your favorite bands (by the way… I love Imperial Teen and saw them a few years ago in a club so small in Portland, Oregon that the lead singer commented that he felt like he was playing in someone’s living room. He was standing about five feet in front of me and my girlfriend, eye ball to eye ball because the stage was six inches high… pretty funny) and it will come back with music that is similar. It isn’t some guy choosing the music similarities, it is actually done by checking various music parameters. It works great!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny you should list Band of Horses. They just came out with a great new album today, called cease to begin. If you are looking for something a little more rocking, check out the band “The Spill Canvas” or “Mute Math”.
