I don't have a random list, but am listening to some of my more recent additions. Iron & Wine/Calexico's In the Reins continues to impress me. I am also loving Josh Rouse. His song "Sad Eyes" off the Nashville album is tremendous, and I just find myself lulled by his voice.
Likewise, I am thoroughly enjoying The New Pornographers. I downloaded about half the album and am loving "Star Bodies" (as Zalm suggested). I will retrieve the other half very soon. I heard that the band chose their name after Jerry Falwell said that rock and roll was "the new pornography." I then heard that it was Jimmy Swaggert, and then heard that the band really chose the name unrelated to either.

We saw Josh Rouse about the time his album Home came out. He was the opener for a show that included The Push Stars and headliner Guster. Until that night, we had never heard of the guy, but both Laughter and Direction impressed me so much that I picked up the cd right away. That's the same way I discovered Martin Sexton, as the opening act at a Guster show.
