Questions like yours is pretty much what it's designed for. I find it a bit obvious for my tastes sometimes but it is very good at what it does. It does throw up some more unusual stuff from time to time.

+1 on the XX. Their album is getting played a lot in our place at the moment.

I've been getting back into Moby as of late, forgot how much I liked his stuff. Also been pounding Beyoncé too (don't laugh) Broken Hearted girl, All the Single ladies, Beautiful Nightmare, awesome workout tracks.

Buy a radio, tune to the XFM, save money.

Terrible idea!

Panda Bear
Neon Indian
Mazzy Star

Wild Beasts
Dirty Projectors

The current best UK and US bands respectively in my very humble opinion.
