Can you help me find some New Music?

I'm trying to find some new music (i.e. music that I have not heard before and/or listened to in a long time, that I have forgot about). So, can you good people please tell me what five cds are on your cd turntable that you are listening to now or what are the five most recent cds you have listened to? And what are five brand spanking new groups and/or indiviuduals that you have listened to/discovered?

And what radio stations is everyone listening to? I'm kind of stuck with KFOG right now, which I like, but doesn't have as much new stuff as I would like.

Thanks.

    KALX. 90.7. The UC Berkeley station. That is, if you're anywhere between the city and Albany. That station is constantly blowing my mind. Holly and I are calling their DJs every day asking them "who's on right now?" I guarantee you'll pick up at least 10 new bands if you spend a week listening.

      Belle and Sebastian's "If You're Feeling Sinister" was in my CD player for like 6 months straight. The funny thing is that if you were to describe them to me, I'd have refused to listen to them, but they're really great...
      Lately I've been listening to a lot of Old Time Radio (of course), but I'm really liking for new bands TV On the Radio, Of Montreal, Regina Spektor (especially "Maryanne Meets the Gravediggers"), the 2nd disc of the new Kate Bush record (though the first disc is kind of terrible), the new Polyphonic Spree (Great American July 17th! One of my favorite live bands ever!) is not bad and much darker than their previous two... etc.
