while I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with listening to Tool every day, I'm going to mix it up some.

I am making a cd mix and would like some input as to some new songs that I may not have heard (I don't listen to the radio at all (other than NPR)).

here's what I have so far:

Arctic Monkeys - Cigarette smoke
Death Cab For Cutie - Photobooth
Bloc Party - Banquet
Porcupine Tree - Trains
P.O.D. Boom

I'd like to stay within the same 'mood' on the cd so please suggest songs similar to those.

thanks,

Burr

I love Bloc Party - just discovered them myself.

You could easily add "Like Eating Glass" "Helicopter" or "This Modern Love" off the same album as "Banquet"

Also check out:
Snow Patrol's Final Straw (album)
Arcade Fire's Funeral (album)
LCD Soundsystem's Tribulations (song)
Broken Social Scene (band)
Franz Ferdinand (band)
The Pixies (band)
Hot Hot Heat (band)

I'm always constantly impressed by last.fm:
