Arthur Loves Plastic
electronic. one song very reminiscent of space invaders noises. pew pew.
Beat Soup
ska. and tastier than borscht.
Billy Mann

Bunny Foot Charm
i guess indie-ish rock punk, with electronic vocals
Capoeria Twins
After literally years of searching, I finally found out their name and their song "4x3" which samples some song I don't know the name of from the 50s or something.
Chakawoo
Ska. Decent quality.
Deep Fat Fried
Electronic with some drum and bass undertones. Repetative like Fatboy Slim but harder.
Deltron3030
Featuring Del tha Funky Homosapien (he was the rapper in Clint Eastwood)
Eye Scream
Electronic. Featured on a DJ Micro cd. Or maybe Tiesto. It doesn't matter.
Fidel Castro
I think this was ska. But it had a great name.
Foggy
Dance trance. Very similar to "Castles in the Sky" by Ian Van Dahl.
Frenzal Rhomb
Australian Punk. If you own a punk compilation cd, you probably know them.
Fuzz Townshend
Some guy who does awesome electronic songs.
Group X
Schfifty Five. If you don't get it, you never will. Schwa schwa schwa?
hence the name
a great duo (who i think broke up) who made tons of songs using samples of shows, old songs, cartoons and random electronic noises. possibly still at hencethename.com

He had one song, American Girls. Dancey electronica with odd lyrics.
Jumbo Shrimp
Surf. One, two, ready, rock!

Keyboardy-surf
Minutemen
Ok I lied. You know them because they did the Jackass theme song.

One song, Flat Beat. Featuring this:
Mr. Vegas
Another one song-er, Heads High. Sort of a reggaeton precursor with a high, whiny voice.
Mr X and Mr Y
Had a song featured on Liquid Todd's cd Action
Polaris
Ok I lied again. They did the Pete & Pete theme song so you know them too.

Stone Players
Another song featured on "Action"
The 440s
Ska with a girl singer.

The Exo Squad
Ironic lyrics and ska.

60s group

More surf.

They did the song "5 o'clock world" which you probably know (also used as a theme song on the Drew Carey Show).

Timo Maas
Electronic

They had a song "Head" that they played on The Box, which apparently is still a station in some places?
Trans Am
Electronic indie rock.
Ugly Duckling
Hip hop. The kind people who like indie would like.

German ska. Even with ska, they sound kind of angry.

German punk. Same as above. They do a terrific song called The Count where they proceed to count from 1 to 30.
