I've got most of it, but not everything (Im working on that now)
My brother in law sent us a list asking If we've heard/got any of it (which I have, and do)
But I can't get him everything on his list, so can you suggest some things he might be into (and me for that matter) based on this list?

Awesome.

Franz Ferdinand - s/t (like The Killers, nu-new-wave)
Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor (Single) or Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (Album) (Indie Pop, you will like it)
Ugly Casanova - Sharpen Your Teeth (Def sure of this one now)
Aqualung - Strange and Beautiful (Piano rock? Not sure what to call it, sounds like what Thom York would've made if he went solo in 1996)
Brandi Carlile - s/t (Youll like it, props to TB for finding it)
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - s/t (You seem to like the Indie Rock)
The Music - s/t (Bit hard to find on the internet, but if you like Embrace youll like them)
Shakira - Dónde Están los Ladrones? or MTV Unplugged (Way more rock than people give her credit for, if she was ugly there'd be critical acclaim.)
Massive Attack - Mezzanine (Youll like it, believe meeeee)
Placebo - Without You Im Nothing (It's a bit different from what you listed but again it's something I know youll appreciate, if you dont immediately hate the singer anyway)
The Pixies - Best Of: Wave of Mutilation or Doolittle (yummy stuff)
The Shins - Oh, Inverted World (I like it better than Chutes Too Narrow personally)
Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Like Bad News (from deathcab for cutie etc. rocks a bit more than they do though)
The Libertines - s/t (More Indie Pop, sound like The Clash but more melodic)
Superchunk - Driveway to Driveway (Yup, still on here)
Glassjaw - Worship and Tribute (Huge stretch for you, but if you see it might as well get it. You'll either want to stab red hot pokers in your ears or have an epiphany)
Feist - Let it Die (I've not had much chance to listen to it but sounds like something up your alley.)


Bold ones I'm very sure of. Hope it helps, feedback is appreciated. Gotta keep sharp ;)

Awesome list!!!
I LOVE Franz Ferdinand... got into them last year, same with Modest Mouse, The Shins and the Pixies.

Great suggestions. I'm looking into some of them now. I agree that Oh Inverted world is much better then CHutes too narrow (Im giving him that one instead)
I hope you don't mind, but you may be my new "go to" guy when it comes to music suggestions :p

he doesn't mind. :D
 
Go to your local record store and check out the compilation section. I do that all the time for dance/trance/euro pop/etc just to find something fun and new, and you know what? It always pays off.

Second, look over your fav records. Find where it says who produced it and then go to your local record shop and find a genre, then look for that producer, what you find 9/10 times you'll like.

It seems like such an obvious thing to do, yet I've only ever done it with one producer (Steve Lillywhite)

I'm a tard :tard:

It's cool man. I didn't think of this until I started to dj, and with electronic music, how it's produced means a shit load. So making that next logical jump isn't hard at all, and (I can say from personal experience) works very very well.

Once you sign up you just enter in bands you like and they make a radio for you, but they play bands that they think you will like, so for they've been pretty good to me. Only about 1 in 30 songs I don't like, and you just hit, I don't like that song and they get better, I rarely hear music I don't like on it now.

You could also look around last.fm.
