the first guy posted a lot of good stuff.  i'd also add discovery, a band started by the lead vocalist from vampire weekend.

oh yeah, also if you are looking for chill acoustic stuff then elliott smith is very good, josh ritter and ryan adams are pretty good too. 

elliott smith and ryan adams can be kinda depressing, but josh ritter is a little more upbeat.

not acoustic, but the album dear science by tv radio is pretty legit too.

brand new is phenomenal. they've got a new album coming out on the 22nd.

they're early stuff is a little too punkish for my taste but Devil & God, and Deja Entendu are hard to beat
