- Tangiers (pop/garage rock)
- Deltron 3030 (experimental, light-hearted hip hop)

- The Locust (crazy metal, most songs under a minute long)
- Mindless Self Indulgence (wacky techno/metal)
- Boy (introspective singer/songwriter type stuff, sort of like Badly Drawn Boy)
- The Streets (British white boy hip hop that is quite humourous and fun)
- Moneen (It's emo-y, I know, but I like them)
- Thrush Hermit (pure, unadultered rock)
- The Sonics (ass-kicking 60s garage rock, The Hives have nothing on them)

-The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster (crazy psychobilly fronted by a man who sounds a bit like a Mad Elvis)
-Skindred (hard to place, but roughly equates to a metal band with a ragga/reggae bloke at the front)
-Satyricon (erm... major label black metal?)
-Queen Adreena (just plain odd, really)
-The Mad Capsule Markets (crazy Japanese techno-metal)
-Laibach (Rammestein, but heavier)
-HolloW (local band, full out stomping thrash/death metal)
As a side note, everyone in the known Universe here knows The Streets, and The Locust are just plain funny, in a good way...

Ryuichi Sakamoto
Tangerine Dream
I don't know. Everything i listen to is pretty mainstream.
What i mean to say is, if i know of a bands existence, they no longer appear obscure to me. There's always someone who knows of their existence.

They aren't super obscure, but I didn't hear about them through a person or radio, so that counts for something in my mind.
add to list:
Charlie Patton
Flashing Lights (people might know them around here.. they are good canadian jangle-rock)

Sir, you are deprived. Go forth, and find Horse of the Dog, and you shall be blessed. Or scared. Whatever.

Moritz Behm. He is a fiddler from my old town. He actually cut one CD and I think it sold 35 copies. Check him out!
