I've just bought the most amazing rock/dance crossover compliation called "Modular presents... Leave Them All Behind". The first CD is a 50-minute mix of some cracking tunes that are about at the moment. Some Bloc Party, Whitey, Killers etc. It's dance music, but not as we know it.

The Blackheart Procession- A Light So Dim (indie/rock)
Death Cab For Cutie- I Will Follow You Into The Dark, Title and Registration(indie/pop)
Figurine- Impossible, Way To Good (Electro-pop)
The Unicorns- Les Os (Indie/Rock/Electro)
The Shipping News- The March Song (Indie/Rock)
The Thrills- Hollywood Kids, Not for All The Love in the World (Indie/Pop)
Moving Units- Melodrama (Dance-rock)
Ted Leo & The Pharmacists- Dial Up (Pop-rock)
The Rapture- Sister Savior (Post punk/acid house)
Quasi- Drunken Tears (Indie/Pop)

Some Songs
 

I've always had problems understanding what actually falls under the "Indie" category, the obvious being that the singer/group is signed under an independant label, but then I have often seen singers/groups signed under a major label appearing in the "Indie" category simply because they aren't so well known... Then there's "Alternative Rock"... and lots of other categories that also seem to fall under "Indie"... :confused:

Anyways, here's a few songs that I like that may fall into this group.

Metric - Raw Sugar, Combat Baby (This girl's voice is such a turn on :love: )
The Beta Band - Dry The Rain
Elbow - An Imagined Affair
Church - Under The Milky Way Tonight
Anthony and The Johnsons - Hope There's Someone
Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek
The Arcade Fire - Crown of Love
The Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You
The Vaselines - Jesus Dont Want Me For A Sunbeam

I dunno about turning me on, but yeah, Metric is a pretty catchy band. I wish Sweet Jane was still around. She was the only other person I can think of that liked Anthony and the Johnsons. I've come around and started listening to them lately as well.

eerie
 

Yea, I must admit that Anthony and The Johnsons took some getting used to, there's something eerie about his voice... to be honest the first time I heard "Hope there's someone" I thought it was someone like Fats Dominos! :rolleyes: "derr"

its Antony and the Johnsons. and he truly is a bird now

Some Incubus blasted in the ear canal might do you good. ^_^

^^troll?

Her and Leslie Feist always manage to get me in the mood. Maybe that's why Broken Social Scene are one of my favorite bands...
