Generally, I'll pick an artist and listen to their entire discography. The main perks of this are that you don't have to fuss with it once you find what you're in the mood for, you'll generally get at least a good 2 hours of play out of it, and you'll usually avoid musical whiplash, if the album is put together well. According to last.fm (username is the same as here, for those who want to befriend me), my big artists these days are: The Decemberists, Iron & Wine, Sufjan Stevens, Rufus Wainwright, Machinae Supremacy, and Andrew Bird. I also strongly recommend the 80-minute Demovibes mixes, if you dig demotunes: http://www.demovibes.org/dv_info.htm http://www.demovibes.org/dv_info.htm
