There's a song that comes on at my work, and for the life of me I can't figure out what it's called.

Name that song: I have a very vague memory of an "indie" song I heard last year but can't recall the name or artist or tune. The lyrics may have had something to do with turning into a wolf or running with a wolf, or something...

I'm trying to revive my rather rusty Spanish. One of the green's favourite tips for language learning seems to be to immerse yourself in TV programmes/films/music in the target language. So I want to start listening to Spanish-language music, and I need some recommendations.

I'm really liking female indie-pop vocalists right now (Kimba, Florence Welch, Adele, Marina + the Diamonds). Who else should I listen to? Sorry, I hate Kate Bush.

Fifteen years later, Calexico's
The Black Light has finally clicked with me in a big way. I absolutely love the guitar sound in
Gypsy's Curse. Does this sound have a name, and where can I find more of it?

Can we do this again? Indie music for a wedding? We're iPodding it for our reception, and would love some new suggestions for music that we might have overlooked. I've looked at the older threads on this on MeFi, but the newest one is a couple of years old.

Calling all indie music geeks... I need help identifying a band. iPhone update nuked all the downloaded music in my Rhapsody app. I was listening to a band that I liked a lot. Singer had sort of baritone, with interesting lyrics. Imagine a post-punk, slightly less-lackadaisical Leonard Cohen. Pretty sure record is relatively recent and band name has the word 'Future' in it. Any ideas?

Name that song! Instrumental. Very recent. Overheard on the radio and in stores/restaurants where they typically play indie/alt rock. Bouncy. Very strong bassline. Kinda reminds me of Air.

Okay Metafilter, name this song: an obnoxiously bleepy, keyboard-heavy indie pop song from around 1998/1999 with a mostly deadpan, slightly sardonic female singer (and male backup vocals for the chorus).

A very general question looking for your tastes. I like basic rock with awesome guitar licks/riffs where I can understand what the singer is singing (or at least has something melodic). I am open to any suggestions for bands post 2000, if not recent. I don't know what subcategories there are but am game for your input.

Name that band: I think it was a Toronto indie rock band with a music video that was comprised entirely of stop motion figurines that were either lego figures or something similar. The song or the band name either used "horse" or "pony" or "sparkle" in the name because my brain keeps telling me "sparklehorse" though I know it's not them.

I'm looking for songs. Very specific songs. Synth-pop songs, with female vocalists, that are related (tangentially) to the word "stars."

Can anyone recommend good clubs in Japan (especially Tokyo) that play music that would appeal to your typical
Pitchfork reader? I'm thinking along the lines of indie electro/pop/rock music, a bit of hip hop in there, and maybe some older favourites.

Please help me identify this song: it sounds like the Kinks, but I think it's more recent. Has something like "she asks, 'do you love me?' but she means, 'will you respect me?'" in the lyrics.
