Breaking Down & Asking for Recommendations

Silver Jews - American Water

One of my all time favorites, I mean David Berman is probably my favorite writer since... I don't know Dylan.  You can never go wrong with Stephen Malkmus playing some lead guitar.

Hold Steady - Seperation Sunday

If you can get into the vocalist (Craig Finn) you will have found one of your new favorite bands. He's also a fantastic writer, and the band has just an excellent almost classic rock sound.

Will:
Converge = awesome.  Amanda Woodward is great, so is Envy.  You might enjoy City Of Caterpillar or Pg. 99, I personally find Isis/Neurosis/Rosetta/Russian Circles all to be quite freaking rad...Isis has toured with Mogwai before, you might dig 'em, and if you dig Isis, it's not a big stretch to dig the rest...

if you want to get into some more straight hardcore (as in the really pissed off sounding stuff, not so much the screamo stuff) I highly recommend old American Nightmare (Give Up The Ghost after a name change), The Hope Conspiracy, Blacklisted, Modern Life Is War...this is all the sort of stuff that gets my blood up and boiling.  

I could post more, but I think I've said about enough for this post, anyway - the only thing that I see missing is the obligitory Anal Cunt.

ANAL CUNT!

Try Final Fantasy. He does all the string arrangements, and his most recent album, 'He Poos Clouds' is positively a joy to listen to. His debut, 'Has a Good Home', is also very good, and features 'This is the Dream of Win and Regine', which is amazing. Also, Bell Orchestre features some mucisians from Arcade Fire, though they're a lot more orchestral, as well as instrumental.

Mogwai

Try some other post-rock, such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Do Make Say Think, and Explosions in the Sky. Especially, Sigur Ros, they make some of the best post-rock I've ever heard.

Try Pavement, Hard Fi, and Spoon. They all have a similar indie-rock sound.

As for the Screamo sort of stuff, I can only think of Saves the Day, since I almost saw them in concert, though I don't know as much about that type of music. You may also want to try THe Mars Volta, as it features two of the members from At The Drive-In.

If you want to change your mind about Metal, I recommend Boris. They're latest album, Pink, is much easier to listen to than a lot of metal, without sacrificing the attitude and intensity.

Check out:

Grizzly Bear
Explosions in the Sky

The Mighty Mopdecai:
I suggest Sigur Ros as well. Amazing Live
For your emo core i suggest to see if you can find some old Radio 1 Lock Up shows by Mike Davis I been listening to that while I'm working in my restaurant and I can't believe that it has finished now.
