what bands have you learned of lately, and cant get enough of. it doesnt have to be an undergroud unsigned band, but it can be. for me i have recently dicovered: the delgados maximum the hormone and Goon Moon all awesome, check them out i encourage you
when i was younger (11-13) my music consisted of mostly hip hop < which i hate and grew out of. i remember first time i heard heart shaped box, i was hooked on nirvana and slowly developed alot of bands i liked, some popular - some not. most recent ones: yeah yeah yeahs - song kiss kiss - youtube it, its awesome. whispers in the dark by skillet the cardigans erm i only heard one song - blurry by puddle of mud, which i like but havent heard more. alot of euphoria songs which have drastic effects on mood just a small list.
vampire weekends a new one worth checking out... if you like that new indy pop kinda scene.... but i mostly just listen to old phish albums and String cheese and greatful dead and.... well you get it....
some bands ive recently(within the last few weeks or so) got into: 1 - That 1 guy 2 - Medeski, martin & wood 3 - Benevento/Russo Duo 4 - Antibalas 5 - RAQ

The two MMW records with Scofield are really good if you are into the Jambands. In case you don't know John Scofield is a guitar player, the first record is Getz Au Go Go, and the new one is Out Louder. Also, the newer John Medeski/Billy Martin album is really good, in general the band is top-notch, work together as one musical brain, and they know how to turn the crowd into the grooviest fonkiest party on the face of the earth.
langerado wonka? I wanna see them somewhere this summer. Unfortunately it wont be langerado cuz i'm saving up for roo and all good and possibly rothbury, and car repairs (see thread shhhhiiitttt). But on topic I've been getting in to Battles and !!! (Chk Chk Chk) a lot lately. A friend showed battles to me then I saw them on the roo lineup and started to get addicted. But an older band I've been re-listening to is Weezer. Good Shit.
