Music Help Needed

[Iron Sulfide]

i recently suffered a virus that made me reformat my hard drive. now i have the tedious
task of rebuilding my music library.

I want to build it in a new direction from what i had, and i'd like recommendations.

My only criterion is that it be something i haven't heard before.

(my tastes are diverse, but my exposure is fairly limited, so it shouldn't be too hard for some
of you)

[Eater of Clowns]

Wolf Parade.  They have two albums, the first is Apologies to the Queen Mary and is fantastic.  The second is At Mount Zoomer and is only slightly less so.

[Iron Sulfide]

thanks.

it might help if posters included some basic info (genre or what have you) just so i know roughly what i'm in for.

[LMNO]

N.A.S.A. A hip hop collaboration with some amazing pairings, including Koot Keith and Tom Waits on one track.

[Requia ☣]

World Inferno Friendship Society - A ska-ish new york underground band.

Wall of Voodoo - defunct and out of print 80s rock band thats popular around here for some reason.

[Dimocritus]

Fo' realz? That sounds like it's just too much awesome for one track! I have to check this out.

On topic: I've been switching up my musical tastes these days, so here's some stuff I've been listening to lately that's a bit more "progressive," I guess.

Chrome, The Melvins, Jesus Lizard, The Locust, Nick Cave.

And if you like a post classic punk-rock kind of sound, check out any of Greg Lowery's bands. It's not mind blowing music but it's good clean fun.
