Ratatat - Loud Pipes - I am loving this song right now

Liz Longley - Rush

Cartel - Chroma - The Minstrel's Prayer

This is the best song to listen to on headphones- the drum is awesome loud and in your ears.  Its one of those songs you can feel.
                                       

Howie Day - She Says

Love this song (THIS version) but really dont like the more poppy version (aka him on Letterman).

I have an awesome recording of him doing a live cover of 'Africa' by Toto, but couldn't find a good one on YouTube.  In the recording I have, he records his voice a number of times and harmonizes with himself- its really cool.

I saw him live in '03 ('04? dont remember) at my college, and it is still one of the best concerts I've seen.

Florence and the Machine - Heavy In Your Arms

Stone Sour - Through The Glass

"How much is real?  So much to question..."

Joni Mitchell - California

"They won't give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had..."

Liz Longley - Goodbye Love

Last year for my dads birthday, my family went to a Nanci Griffith concert at Berkley in Boston, and  Liz Longley opened for her.  I love the sound of her voice, her songs and the fact that she actually writes them herself.  Theres not much on YouTube of her (including my favorite song- "Shes Beautiful") but if shes ever in your area, check her out!
