New Pornographers - Twin Cinema
Hope 7 - self-titled
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
Teenage Fanclub - Man-Made
Anna Nalick - Wreck Of The Day
Cindy Alexander - Angels & Demons
White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
Brandi Carlile - self-titled

Martha Wainwright - self-titled
Wallflowers - Rebel, Sweetheart

Tracy Bonham - Blink The Brightest

This list could change, as I have these and more on my wish list: Franz Ferdinand's You Could Have It So Much Better (more fun this time IMO,) Julie Gribble - So Typical, The Like - Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?, Fefe Dobson - Sunday Love, Brie Larson - Finally Out Of P.E. (a pretty artistic and well written pop CD from what I've heard - definitely my thing,) Jerra - Play Like A Girl (not only rocks, but she is also quite attractive!)

I also got Laura Veirs's Year Of Meteors recently, and love that, too. It's an eccentric twist on conventional folk pop and indie.

If you want more, I can give them.
