I find myself constantly listening to the same music all the time on my ipod. Stuff I like: The Shins, Nirvana, Death Cab for Cutie, The Postal Service, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Sufjan Stevens, Beck, Arctic Monkeys, Hot Hot Heat, etc.

One of the ways I like to find music is to use pandora.com . You tell it bands/songs that you like and it tells you other songs that you might like.
i second perchik’s idea to try sites like pandora and finetune.com
You should try listening to The Apples In Stereo, The Good Kind, white rabbit, Vampire Weekend, Gandalf Murphy. Also you could listen to the All Songs Considered podcast for finding new music
Bright Eyes
The Decemberists
The Faint
The Arcade Fire

Minnesota Public Radio has a fantastic station for new, non-mainstream music called “the Current.” If you are not fortunate enough to live in the Twin Cities metro area you can stream it live at: http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/the_current/
Try KLOVE for some different music. It’s an FM station. In Denver it’s 91.1 FM. You can go to www.klove.com to find a station in your area.
Charlotte Hatherley. I’ve just started listening to her music and I can’t stop.
Muse? Your musical taste sounds similar to mine… hopefully you’ll like them.
Also, you could try The Klaxons, Hard-Fi, Maximo Park… I can’t get enough of them.
Sign up for Last.fm You can type in musicians you like, and hear musicians like them on Last.fm radio.
kcrw.com is an awesome station based in Santa Monica CA; Nic Harcourt’s Morning Becomes Eclectic always surprises and pleases, & all the dj’s are fresh and bring a lot of variety. They also stream and podcast their live shows, and publish all of their playlists.
a lesser known site of the same breed as last fm and pandora which are both excellent is imeem wich has playlists organised in web 2.0 style or you can search by band for a playlist. Otherwise at this time of year the end of year lists are a good starting point such as metacritic
i know this singer through some mutual friends. His name is Alo Moniz.
his band is called “Alo and the Narcissist”
