Q: does anyone know of any awesome Underground Artists of the indie/folk/rock persuasion ? I'm sick of mainstream and I wanna find some real good music, but I don't know where to look. So I figured I'd ask here, if you know any thanks
you can start by looking up soundtracks to indie films or just any tv show or movie with a good soundtrack like (500) "days of summer", "juno", etc.

other artists you should check out that are indie folksy: (some example songs)
- joanna newsom - "the sprout and the bean", "peach, plum, pear", "bridges and balloons", "sawdust and diamonds", "this side of the blue"
- devendra banhart - "lover", "little yellow spider"
- neutral milk hotel - "two-headed boy", "in the aeroplane over the sea", "oh comely", "king of carrot flowers"
- lisa mitchell - "coin laundry", "so jealous"
- tegan & sara - "frozen", "i can't take it", "nineteen", "speak slow", "where does the good go"
- built to spill - "car", "reasons", "center of the universe", "the plan"

(to add to the bottom answer).. personally i like the following songs:
florence and the machine - "kiss with a fist"
block party - "banquet", "blue light", "helicopter", "this modern love", "skeleton"

thanks!
