Recent Music Discoveries

I'm always on the prowl for new music. Sometimes I go on a "discovery binge" and download four or five albums/bands at a time. I would say 54% of the material is basically junk, but I really can't support that percentage because I never entirely listen to everything I download. Many songs get lost in the mix and somehow never get played in my itunes. Alas, I seem to find some really great stuff. Some of it is referred to me from people here and there and I much appreciate it, even though inside I wish I had discovered it myself. Well, in no particular order, here are some recent findings/new material that have come my way.
