So I'm looking for some road trip(ish) stuff... you know you and your girlfriend driving across America in a beat up hippie van. Anything would be nice but specifically whats some really talented soft indie rock that would just fit that vibe?

Early Santana, Matching Mole, Iceberg, Centipede, Soft Machine, Osibisa.
Osibisa especially. :thumb:

I'd like some jazz stuff, maybe fusion, I don't really care. I have too much post-hardcore and indie right now, need to balance it back out. Some big band stuff would be nice too.

i just like the lyrics:

Sending shivers right down your spine
It's something that you're prone to so divine
You were better at lies (I was never surprised)
at the way that if felt
Now feel the blade (I was always insane)
but you're the one that needs help

(Quick!) We have the ransom
Tell me how that you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs
(Below!) There's no more chances
So tell me now if you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs

Breathing slowly never worked for me
I cut the throat of betrayal to watch him bleed
a poetic sonnet passion that I scream to the sky
I'm tearing up I feel your love don't leave me behind
a poetic sonnet passion that I scream to the sky
I'm tearing up I feel your love please don't leave me behind

The smell of vanity, it went away
I followed streetlights till I wound up at your place
We traced our veins (we bled for days)
The current was strong enough tonight
I can taste any more
It lasted on my tongue
You weren't strong enough to say

(Quick!) We have the ransom
Tell me how that you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs
(Below!) There's no more chances
So tell me now if you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs

Grab my heart
Take this down
With your soul
and bury it in the ground
Go

I talked to you today
I heard the tremble in your voice cradle the fall
I know you'll never change so please just hold on
I know it's hard for you
it's hard to understand betrayal within
there is a fine line between betrayal (betrayal) and your friends

Tell me how that you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs
(Quick!) We have the ransom
So tell me how that you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs

Love Cellar Door!! <3

I don't have a full Tom Waits album, what should I get first?

Rain Dogs and/or Mule Variations would be the best place to start I reckon. If you can't find any good links, just give us a shout :)

Bone Machine is a good one too.

Where should I start with Pg. 99?

I've been dying to find something similar to The Hush Sound. I don't like what last.fm and iTunes Genius consider similar (The Cab, This Providence), because they sound too generic imo, and I don't even think they sound like The Hush Sound at all. Any suggestions?

Also looking for something similar to Patrick Wolf.
