Dang Grace,

I feel you, and trust me, if this were a longer list, all of those would be included. Saw Blitzen Trapper at the glass house two weeks ago and Fleet Foxes’ “he doesn’t know why” has been on my awesome que the last month.

Thanks for the recommendations though, I haven’t heard o some of these – Looking forward to slowing my computer more.

Thumbs up on Jens Lekman. But if I may say so, a starter package should definitely have Fleet Foxes, Blitzen Trapper, Hey Marseilles (all repping the northwest as am I), Grizzly Bear, My Morning Jacket, and Wilco. Bon Iver has already been mentioned, but I agree; saw them in LA a couple weeks ago- a wonderful show. If anyone’s reading and needs more recommendations- Noah and the Whale, St. Vincent, Le Loup, The Antlers, Built to Spill (old favorite), Elvis Perkins, Fool’s Gold, and Mayer Hawthorne (not necessarily of the indie genre) are some I have been listening to lately. That was a lot- sorry!

love and listen to all of the bands listed in the article and in the comments, with the exception of Bon Iver and Mason Jennings- I will definitely give their stuff a listen.

saw ra ra riot when they opened for andrew bird at the greek this summer, they have a very interesting sound. does andrew bird still count as indie rock now? he’s reasonably well known…as i understand it being labelled indie rock technically has to do with the type of label the artist is with, but i always take indie to mean obscure, essentially.

am currently obsessed with NEKO CASE, who i also saw live this summer. she is amazing. i love her solo work but she also does some pretty cool things with The New Pornographers. listen to her music, it is nothing short of transporting!

[...] Thursday night’s debauchery to Sunday morning’s talkshows, from craigslist safety to indie rock, from what you ate yesterday to what to want to eat tomorrow. What’s important to CMCers? [...]

Loved the article Alex. And to continue the spreading of good music around, a few tracks I think are worthy of a listen:

Noah and the Whale – “Five Years Time” feel-good song, brighter than most of their other stuff.

Iron & Wine – “Boy With a Coin” consistently good chill-out music.

Born Ruffians – “Hummingbird” and “Barnacle Goose” awesome Canadian band, pretty versatile sound.

Sufjan Stevens – “Chicago” I know he was already mentioned, but this song is so good.

AND

Mason Jennings – “Living in the Moment” Straight outta Minnesota.
