I love the Blade Runner soundtrack

Thievery Corporation is very good.

Emilie Simon, and Kelly De Martino are my favourites in the calm genre. They both have greate voices.

Why not trying last.fm?

Another Thievery fan

Thievery Corporation rocks.

Since you like Blower's Daughter, get 9 Crimes from thier new album.

Also check out Elliot Smith, and Howie Day.

So this is a double post. Shoot me.

I've been looking around recently for some music that's suitable for driving/chilling (as in sitting on the verandah on a rainy day with peppermint tea in hand), and the following have helped me out a little:

Aqualung (esp. Strange and Beautiful, Easier to Lie)
The Fray (How to Save a Life, Vienna)
Au Revoir Simone - Through the Backyards
Cary Brothers - Ride
Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter (a little bit but suits my purposes)
Augustana - Boston
Joe Purdy - I Love The Rain The Most
KT Kunstall - Universe and U
Lior - This Old Love
David Grey - This Years Love
Iron and Wine - Naked As We Came


That should give you an idea of my taste at the moment (whether you think it's crap or not), so does anyone have any suggestions?

It sounds like you're going for slow/lighter acoustic music I assume, so, barring Yellow Ledbetter [still an awesome drive/chill song], here's a few...

Iron and Wine - Such Great Heights
The Tragically Hip - (Long Time Running, Bobcagyeon, Ahead By A Century, Wheat Kings)
Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter
