I freakin' love The Roots.
Well they've got a song just for you, your lovely wife and the glam baby.
Roots doing "Lovely, Love My Family" on Gabba.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I looked it up and Jenny Lewis's YouTube is here. It's not Yo Gabba Gabba but it's freaking adorable.

Let's see - some stuff I haven't seen mentioned yet: Calexico, Franz Ferdinand, Santagold, Ladytron, Gorillaz, Kaiser Chiefs, Freezepop.
That's off the top of my had of stuff that's been in heavy rotation for me (or at least multiple select songs from each have been).
The new Arctic Monkeys is sticking with me in a way their others didn't.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This may or may not apply to Raq's quest, but if you wanna download one awesome song, try "Bullets" by tunng (from the Good Arrows album).

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Personally, I think people should listen to The Bouncing Souls whenever possible,though they've been around for more than the last ten years.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
