I'm musically bored right now.. Happens to me about once a month, actually.. I need something fresh to listen to so any suggestions would be cool.. Genre doesn't really matter.. I love every kind of music other than cheesy 80s metal (like bon jovi)... Here are some albums I've gotten into recently:

-Lamb: What sound and Fear of Four... Good electro-lounge as I like to call it (trip hop but less darker)

-Lake Trout.. Whatever their new album is called.. Pretty decent stuff.. Kinda like radiohead sometimes, kinda too "modern rock" at other times

-Alkaline Trio: I know these guys are old but I just got into them.. Good punk pop

-The beautiful mistake: nice scream-o band...

-Aesop Rock: Bazooka Tooth.. A decent hip hop album.. I really have to listen to it a bit more to really judge it

-Cursive: the ugly organ.. great, great stuff..

-Damien Rice: great singer-songwriter

So, please, make some suggestions.. Don't recommend John Mayer's albums.. I've listened to them.. I don't like them... that genre has so many other talented people in it with UNIQUE voices...

Don't know the other names you mentioned, but if you like Lamb, I'd recommend:

Kruder and Dorfmeister
Nightmares On Wax
Thievery Corporation

All of these are pretty kick-back trip-hoppy jazzy lounge-type stuff....
