J,
Good list. I went and re-listened to that Shins album, and liked it better the second time around.
For anyone interested, the new Saul Williams record is pretty good. I got it last night after hearing about it from Sound Opinions podcast.

Worth supporting, I think. $5 isn't too much to ask for spoken word over industrial beats.
