Here ia a list of artists and bands on MySpace that you really should know about! Seriously, go through and listen to AT LEAST one song of each, all the way through... take your time. Enjoy. This is by no means a complete list, but it's a start...
CHRIS GARNEAU
I am in love with him so much! I can't stop listening... over and over and over. He feels to me like the smoothing of my ruffled feathers, and I's gots some ruffled feathers in this life. He comforts me.
NOTE: Performing LIVE at THE LIVING ROOM on Dec. 7th!
THE AGE OF ROCKETS
Múm meets The Postal Service in these beautiful, delicate beats, melodious moods, and lullaby lyrics sound-painted by the sweet vocals of Andrew Futral. Gorgeous!
NOTE: Performing LIVE at THE BITTER END on DEC. 11th!
MUM
Delicate, delicate blips and bleeps and beauty from a world between the worlds.
MAHOGANY
NOTE: Performing LIVE at Rockwood Music Hall on DEC. 4th!
JENNY O
I think she reminds me of the best of This Mortal Coil's vocals, with similar haunt and harmony.
GREGORY AND THE HAWK
Gentle, pleasant, story-songs couched in waltzing notes and the kind vocals of Meredith Godreau.
NOTE: Performing with THE AGE OF ROCKETS at THE BITTER END on Dec. 11th!
PLASTIC OPERATOR
WONDERFUL, upbeat and catchy music with the soft singing that reminds me of Erland Oye of KINGS OF CONVENIENCE. This stuff sticks in your frickin' head all day!
Lucy Belle Guthrie
Need I say more... (the daughter of Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie)
Soce, The Elemental Wizard
Making Hip Hop and Rap FUN and Dirty and GAY!

I only know Mum from your list, so i have a lot to catch up with!
But one tip for you is Frida Hyvönen (http://www.myspace.com/fridahyvonen) (unfortunately, no music there, but she's streamable at last.fm), just a female voice, a piano and sometimes other instruments. She's Swedish, blonde, what more can i say? A knock-out...
Whoosh! Thank you, Roy!! I added her as a FRIEND and will continue to check her out! After you've checked out the bands in my list, let me know which ones you liked...

" All I Have " - Clan of Xymox
" Isolated " - Chiasm
" Avalon " - Juliet

Oh, and here's someone you might like:

Blonde Redhead guitars, gorgeous melodies, gorgeous lead singer with breathy vocals.....
Wow, i really liked Chris Garneau's stuff. It reminded me a little bit of the singer-songwriter Ben Purdom.

Pretty, but with more shadows.
Checked out Ben Purdom... nice!
