I've heard some Stars, actually... Reaaally long time ago on Launchcast. I can't even remember the name of the song, but it was pretty good. *goes off to look them up*

Right!! Elevator Love Letter was the one I heard, I'm pretty sure of it.

I already saw Rilo Kiley mentioned. They're basically the best band in the world.

Bright Eyes is cool too. As are Hellogoodbye, We Are Scientists, etc...

and if YOU love stars... you have to try the ios (album is in sunday songs).

(by the way, based on this thread, and the other one, i have a feeling our ipods would get along really well!

do you know regina spektor? you should!)

oooh thanks for the tip. i'll have to check them out.

oh, our ipods would probably be best friends

i know regina spektor but i don't have a lot of her music downloaded. from what i've heard, i do like though.

you need to get yourself hooked up with some last.fm

You'd probably like Kathleen Edwards (Canadian) a lot if you like Sarah Harmer. Pick up "Failer" or "Back to Me" and thank me later. Kathleen is one of my favorite newer artists of any genre.

I like Ladytron too!

Jason Collett (of Broken Social Scene) put out a gorgeous CD last year called IDOLS IN EXILE. It was my favorite release last year...

C R Avery. He is INCREDIBLE. Just incredible.

"If post modernism was LSD
then C.R.Avery would be a

And then, speaking of the Be Good Tanyas...
Their even ten times better off-shoot: Po'Girl

http://www.pogirl.net/

Their second CD, Vagabond Lullabies, is so good it makes me want to throw my other thousand CD's in the trash and never listen to anything else ever again, well, maybe Beethoven. Have felt that way for the past year and a half already, to say something about its staying power.

I promise.

Of course, and I love it.

I still need to buy The Elected's CD though.

I can't get into either of those artists - Kathleen or Sarah. I don't know why. I sort of liked that one SH song... I don't know the name, but the video was on a lot here when it first came out. That was awhile ago. She's from my hometown, so that's a plus.
