Right now I am reawakening my addiction to Nine in Nails... (and possibly my obsession with Trent Reznor). Not exactly cafe music but I am recovering from 5 months in Central America with constant salsa... can't stand it!
Out of interest - anyone know any alternatives to the godawful Music of the Coffee Lands by Putomayo??? seems like EVERY SINGLE vaguely "alternative" coffee shop plays it, I had to endure it on a daily basis where I used to work...

Obviously, being new to coffee culture, at least urban coffee culture, I have no clue about any of the groups mentioned yet, with the exception of Soundgarden. What do I listen to? It varies....a lot! It might be Barber's Adagio, or Firehouse. Or Def Leppard, Poison, (yeah, I have a thing for hair bands, lol) Recently I heard live, and got to meet a Greek guitarist named Pavlo who hails from Canada. That guy is a genius! His band is incredible, too! Check http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_MROqagTbQ

DJ Shadow has been nice early in the morning...
Then maybe some St. Germain, Nightmares on Wax, & Massive Attack.
By lunch, we gotta pick it up... Parliment Funkadelic, Jamiroquai, MGMT, and anything that keeps our feet movin'...

I listen to a lot of bluegrass. It's nice background, but it keeps me moving. I also enjoy Jazz, Tina Brooks is one of my favorites. And there's always Dolly Parton!

pandora.com

then i type in anything that is mellowish or whatever i want.
anything from counting crows to explosions in the sky.
(if you dont know what pandora is, you should check it out. basically, what you do is type in a band or a song you like, and then it lets you listen to a bunch of bands/songs that sound like previously typed band/song. its quite a wonderful tool.)
