i'd like to hear more Kaiser Chiefs, in fact, if we could get "Ruby Ruby Ruby" to play at least 3 times a night that'd be hot.
beyond that, perhaps a little Cameo, word up, some of that late 70's funk - and of course, Icehouse's "Electric Blue"

Hi all!  Let me put in a good word for:

Portishead
Calexico
Joy Division
Haujobb
Nick Cave
Morphine
Pink Floyd
Cabaret Voltaire

...and a set of remixes someone put together of the music from the original videogame Doom, released as a free bittorrent double album called "Dark Side of Phobos".  If you can't find it let me know.  It's great rockin' instrumental gaming music, and makes Doom fans say, "This sounds strangely familiar..."

Massive Attack - Anything from the Mezzanine album
The Mars Volta - any
Coheed and Cambria - any
Deftones
Finger Eleven
