Lupe Fiasco.
He's had a couple videos on MTV, but he's such a brilliant and original lyricist he should be 10 times more popular than dreck like Mike Jones. Mike Jones! Mike Jones! I'm Mike Jones!

Eat a dick Mike.

Ayreon
Dougie MacLean
Joe Satriani
Dream Theater

Streetlight Manifesto
Genre: Ska
Youtube clip: Keasbey Nights (it's live, and honestly doesn't sound very good but their CD is definitely worth checking out)

I know Streetlight is Catch 22 evolved...but '98 Keasbey was so much better.

And I'm sure a lot of people know of them, but I just love them so much:

VNV - don't mind the video, it was the only one with decent sound quality.

I can't get to youtube from work, but is that VNV Nation or just VNV?

VNV Nation...I've always referred to them as such, probably because I'm incredibly lazy.

 

[shocksyde]

I can't access youtube at work, so no clips, but:

Xavier Rudd

Yeah, they have some good stuff. I like their older stuff more than the newer though. Praise the Fallen is probably my favorite. The last CD of theirs I bought was Futureperfect and I downloaded Matter and Form but I wasn't all that impressed. Looks like they've got a new one coming out soon.

Antoine Dufour
Andy McKee
Trespassers William

Too lazy to link.

Sunset Rubdown

Two videos, they are awesome (Their new album is a excellent but not as good as the one from last year which was just a masterpiece).

Stadiums and Shrines
Winged/Wicked Things

Voxtrot

Great rock band (on the soft side I'll admit but good nonetheless)

Raised By Wolves
Ghost

Editors

Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors

Andrew Bird

Heretics

I'm not sure if they're a local band or not but no one around Philly played them until about 6 weeks after I had started listening.

They remind me of early Smashing Pumpkins, so check them out:

Check out songs: Melatonin, Lazy Eye, Rusted Wheel

I have their CD and enjoy all of it.

"Carnavas" is an excellent CD.

Lazy Eye - CD version clip.

Lazy Eye - Leno clip.

pavement - range life

pavement - gold soundz

pavement - shady lane

 

[BigPoppa]

dredg - Yatahaze (live)

They have 2 CDs and a live CD out. Working on a third. They really can change their sound around a lot, so check out a smattering from Leitmotif and El Cielo.

Strata - Cocaine

First single off their new cd Strata Presents the End of the World.

The Weakerthans
No other lyricist than John K. Sampson has the ability to pull a listener into the breadth of emotions as those you can find on their 3 LPs (Fallow, Left and Leaving, Reconstruction Site). New album out September 25th.

"Our Retired Explorer"

A song written about the end of grandiose exploration within the context of supper with existentialist philosopher Michel Foucault.
The video also has dancing penguins.

"The Reasons"

Simple, elegant with an oddly entertaining video

"Psalm for the Elks Lodge Last Call"

Old guys in red fezes' - need I say more

 

[ggnl]

Hmm...

Pig Destroyer has a new album out. But I couldn't find any traccks from it on youtube. In case you don't know, they're pretty much the best grindcore band evar.

I've been listening to a lot of Leatherface too. Their split with Hot Water Music is just fantastic.

I'm at work for another 2 hours and am mad-blocked so search the following below:

Aimee Mann

"Ghostworld" on youtube. ~One of the best videos ever despite its low budget.

She also has an amazing, self-deprecating and hilarious personality that really shows off in concerts. Also, has an official website and myspace if you google her name.

That's because you didn't give a link...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LT9Hib_5XU

U.P.O. starts about 30 seconds in. Song is about 7 years old - I always like it. I never considered them more than a one hit wonder band tho, if you can call that song a hit.

Advance and Follow is a great album. Amhrán Comhrac is a gorgeous piece.
