More dirt-cheap used CDs...

Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump (2000)
Yep seems like my kind of thing. The first comparisons that come into my head are Mercury Rev at their mellowest and a bit of early Flaming Lips as well. This album has a nice sad and weary tone at times but can sometimes be uplifting. It sprung into life on first listen and my guess is it will sound even better with repeated listens.

Boards Of Canada - The Campfire Headphase (2005)
Yes it took me a long time to get around to this one, saw the CD and thought what the hell why not? This seems a little bit more ambient than Geogaddi and Music Has The Right To Children and doesn't seem to hold my attention as much as the other two. Hopefully I will grow to love it with a few more listens.

Both great, The Campfire Headphase is just as good as their holy cows.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - I'm With You
It's pretty good. Only wish Frusciante would've stayed his guitar and lyrics are what made the chili peppers great. This is still pretty good I like what I'm hearing. Kinghoffer does a decent job on this album. This is kinda a different approach though from there later material. The music is not as hot as it used to be now it's just mild.

I wouldn't even bother downloading that for free to be honest, they are just playing it way too safe, they have gotten really boring to listen to for me. Don't get me wrong though I love their earlier stuff still like Mother's Milk, Sex Magick and Californication.
You should listen to his solo album he released a while back. It's called "The Empyrean". It's beautiful.

as in John Frusciante's solo album.

Excellent album. I don't listen to it nearly as much as I ought though, because it's simply so intense. Also I do most of my listening at work, and the 10 minutes of assorted noise in Cop Shot Cop tends to really irritate my customers. Keep an ear out for Broken Heart as possibly the saddest song ever penned.
