I heard Oneida - Up With People during the day some time, and then checked on the net to find out the album had leaked :O
That was the first time I'd heard of the band at all, and they have a really good discography.
I was actually surprised to hear it on JJJ, most new music that I find...
This is the band which got me into even more great music so I suggest Animal Collective.
I guess you could lump them in with the New Wierd America movement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Weird_America), but IMO they only fit there in terms of how 'wierd' they are, and their latest album was...
Royksopp (first album)
Mùm
Four Tet
Shpongle (go for Are You Shpongled?)
Boards of Canada
Coil
Air
Some Aphex Twin (ie: Selected Ambient Works Vol II)
Also, give the Meat Beat Manifesto album 99% a listen.
Smashing Pumpkins - Today was played at a family member's funeral, thus...
Some more:
The Smiths - Asleep
A Silver Mt. Zion - God Bless Our Dead Marines
Beck - Lost Cause
Syd Barrett - Dark Globe
I read Four Past Midnight back in Year 6 or so, I thought only one of the stories was really worth it - The Langoliers.
It's not scary though, I don't think any of his books really are (but I've only read Firestarter)
