For awhile now my only "indie" style albums that I have owned have been:

Wilco - Been There Being There
Modest Mouse - Dead Before we Set sail We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
Ghostfiner - These Colors Run,
Chilli Willy and the Red Hot Peppers - Bongos Over Balham and I'll Be Home
Jake Shimabukur - Gently Weeps
Tom Waits - Closing Time and Rain Dogs

 I like a lot of different things but I was hoping you guys and gals could suggest something a bit less mainstream than my normal song choice. I like most things as long as I can understand the words that are being sung. I don't mind having no clue what the song means the first time I hear it but I do like to be able to pick out what words they are singing.



 Oh last thing I really love mariachi music and classical guitar if that helps.

Thanks in advance.

I'd learn the names of the albums you own before you start getting new ones.

If you want less mainstream, I'd suggest the four successive Wilco albums after that one, because they get wackier and wackier as it goes on.

I don't know much about Tom Waits, although I do know that if you have an album of his that you consider mainstream you might want to get some more of his stuff.

DynamiteKid -

 Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I deserve it.

I never said I think Tom Waits is main stream, it's just one of the non mainstream albums I own. I am just looking for more non mainstream albums that would gel with what I know I like - whether it is more extreme or less.

Well, with the Mariachi and general latin  influence, you may like these bands-

Calexico - http://www.myspace.com/casadecalexico  

Fatigo - http://www.myspace.com/fatigo  

The Black Heart Procession - http://www.myspace.com/theblackheartprocession  

It's not necessarily the only influence present in these bands, but it's definitely there.

Scandanavian War Machine:
Darkness At Noon by A Hawk and a Hacksaw

i think that would fit into the mariachi-ish category. "darkness at noon" is the name of album, by the way.

also, if you like Tom Waits, i'd like to suggest the group Man Man. they are quite good.
