I've been lurking for a few days, and after downloading easily 15+ albums, I decided that I had to start giving back. Exceptionally welcome was the original Donkey Kong Country Soundtrack, something I thought no one else in the world but me cared about.
Before I get started, I'd like to specifically thank whoever posted any 65daysofstatic, I had never heard of them before, they just moved into my iPod and the party has literally yet to cease. =)
The first album I am submitting is for fans of exotic string instruments, and the chubby gentlemen that comepletely fuggin' shred on them.

It just this guy (who I think is perfect) shredding on a Sitar with a drum machine and some kinda crazy techno shit. I also have Sitar Power Album #2 (not for his mom and dad).
Next up is one of my personal favorite hip-hop and rap artists of all time:

Cunninlinguists are, in my opinion, some of the most talented and honest performers on the underground rap scene, and they are bawlz-out flawless live. If you like clever lyrics and fresh, unorthodox beats check these guys out.
The following album actually will not ever get old, and is basically all good all the time forever.

This guy has an offbeat voice and crooked eye, but he is soooo soulfoul (and sooo high), and I dunno what else, I find him a little hard to describe and hard to classify, but giving him a shot might be the best decision you make all week. His simplistic acoustic tracks flesh out his more hip-hop ones, and the storyline behind the songs (it's a concept album) are actually pretty cool.
Last for this post, but certainly not least, is a jewel of my collection:

Skeletonbreath is a devilish fiddler, an inexplicably skilled bassist, and a drummer that loves to Spiel... Glockenspiel that is!! Combining Gypsy/folk and Metal for some seriously spooky shit (I saw these guys live in a haunted house, they were amazing) they achieve a sound that is at once a groovy beach tune, a gaunt and macabre chamber ditty, and some righteous fuckin' violin playing.
Certainly more to come. Ultra props to OneWheelWizzard for getting me addicted to the best music... Shared Music.
