Can I just make you a mix? Or, like, a small boxed set of mixes?
Let's see. I second renenet's recommendations, and also tzikeh's rec of Death Cab for Cutie's Transatlanticism.
A five-to-start-with: Bettie Serveert, Private Suit The Frames, For The Birds Lauryn Hill, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (about which a lot of people say "I don't like hip-hop but I like this CD") Peter Mulvey, Kitchen Radio Sleater-Kinney, All Hands on the Bad One
And a few more things I've been listening to in the last fifteen years, with emphasis on relatively recent stuff:
Erykah Badu, Baduizm The Blue Aeroplanes, Swagger Coldplay, A Rush of Blood to the Head The Connells, anything; Weird Food and Devastation is probably a good starting point Kris Delmhorst, Songs for a Hurricane Jeffrey Foucault, Stripping Cane Fountains of Wayne, Welcome Interstate Managers Emmylou Harris, Wrecking Ball Hem, Rabbit Songs Angelique Kidjo, Oremi Laura Love, Shum Ticky Madder Rose, Tragic Magic Matt Pond PA, The Nature of Maps or Emblems Mos Def, Black on Both Sides (see above re: Lauryn Hill) Nada Surf, Let Go New Order, Substance The Replacements, anything; Don't Tell A Soul is a good place to start Josh Ritter, Hello Starling Josh Rouse, Home Garrison Starr, Airstreams and Satellites
