I Need 24 Tracks of Awesome

[jetpack_monkey]

I have about 24 dollars worth of iTunes credit and I have no idea how to spend it.

So! Recommend me new artists and sounds!

I like Elvis Costello, David Bowie, Stuart Davis, Oingo Boingo, Talking Heads, Monty Python, songs that are very witty, Jonathan Coulton, musicals, Tom Lehrer, REM, Tears for Fears, They Might Be Giants, The Smiths, The Clash, OK Go, The Eurhythmics, Frank Zappa, Goblin, Green Day, a capella groups, Ben Folds, and Barenaked Ladies prior to Maroon.

Suggestions?

I wouldn't hold it up as my favorite, either. "Art Snob Solutions" and "I'm in Love With an Android" aren't my favorite Of Montreal or Say Hi To Your Mom songs, either. Those reccs are entirely based on Nate's assertion that he likes "songs that are witty".

I think I may just solve Nate's dilemma and buy the mp3 albums for The Honesty Room and Mortal City.

I had her complete collection up to Beauty of the Rain... and then some jerk stole all my CDs. I'm still missing those (and the complete Tori Amos collection, including singles, and the complete Sarah McLachlan) like crazy.

Ouch! I gotta say, some of the only Tori tracks I still listen to regularly are from her singles. I especially love her cover of "Take to the Skies".
