Bands such as:

Sneaker Pimps
Baxter
Morcheeba
Emilie simon (early)
Constanza
Moodarama

If you need any up's just holler.

Lets see here...
I have ZERO death metal albums, and I think thats because I've been looking in the wrong places.
The only jazz album I own is Cosmos by Sun Ra, and it's not even on a format that I can listen to (its vinyl, and I lack a turntable).
The Only Post-rock Album I own is Lift your skinny fists... by GY!BL, and I love it, so I want to look more into that.
The only Post-Hardcore album I own is Relationship of Command by ATD-I, which is now one of my favorite albums.
Some accessible routes for these genres would be greatly appreciated.

A very easy mistake to make. Death metal isn't the easiest genre of music to get into if you're not sure you're really into at first. The wrong bands can be a real turn off and sadly you'll miss some of the better more talented ones out there. Anyhow I'll post a few videos and if any of them strike a chord with you send me a PM and I'll send you the album.

I hope that puts you on the right path.

I need someone with a lot of knowledge about Mexican music to introduce me to some stuff. I'm not a fan of the accordion-based Mexican music that sort of sounds like polka, but I am interested in two kinds of Mexican music: Stuff with more complex percussion along the lines of a lot of South American music (I think this stuff is called cumbia) and also the kind of Mexican folk music with the fiddle and the vocals that almost sound like yodeling. I'm not even sure of the names of these genres so it's been hard for me to find anything on my own. If anyone can help I'd be really grateful.

Mike Laure perhaps.

From what I'm reading about him he doesn't sound like exactly what I'm looking for but he does still sound like someone I might like regardless.

I'm no expert, but anyways, I suppose this one is not exactly from "Mexico" but give it a try -

BABE(B)LOGUE: The Roots of Chicha - Psychedelic Cumbias from Peru (2007)

I'm not sure whether that's what you are after as I have no idea what's 'cumbia'. It just had the word and I happened to remember

.

Or maybe something like this?

(Ignore the accordion pic. I'm sure you'll get through it

. I find the accordion to be a bit cheesy, but that wasn't half bad. And I *think* it has some complex-tribal sort of drumming?)

Edit: And here's a track from the compilation without any vocals

YouTube - juaneco y su combo - me robaron mi runa mula

Heh. Thanks for the suggestions but I actually already own an El Gran Silencio album (it's a pretty good album but the accordion does get old after a while) as well as that "Roots of Chicha" disc. Based on what I've heard I think cumbias are really different depending what their country of origin is and I think the type of cumbia I'm looking for is specifically Mexican. As far as the other style of Mexican music I'm looking for goes (the style with the yodeling and fiddle), you may be one of the few people on here familiar with the one good example of it that I know by name. Do you have the Cafe Tacuba album Avalanche de Exitos? If you do, the song "Ojala Que Llueva Cafe" is the exact style of music I'm looking for.
