It's corny, and it's 'top of the pops' BUT I do love Big Country. Really liked them in the 80's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw2o_Go4QWI Wow so long since I heard this song I didn't even know the singer Stuart Adamson committed suicide in 2001. Fuck a duck that was 11 years ago. Sad.
"Viva" by La Düsseldorf. Strongly recommended if you like Bowie circa "Low" and "Heroes" or vintage Krautrock in general.
I became a fan after hearing the music on the Feist - Look At What The Light Did Now soundtrack. His piano-only versions of her songs were so haunting and beautiful, I had to find more of his stuff!

Been fiending for something that hits hard since I've been on a mellow kick as of recent. Just discovered this band and I haven't enjoyed a new record like this in a while. Car Bomb http://carbomb.bandcamp.com/album/w-w-w-w
