I think we have at least one track from each of the albums mentioned so far, but I'm a little surprised by how exclusively contemporary these selections are. We play new stuff, but mix it up with lots of old blues, jazz, South American music, soul/funk music, etc. Our goal is to have music that appeals equally to the elderly and to young art students. So here are some other albums I'd like to toss in:
The Meters, Look-ka Py Py
Tom Ze, anything
Various, the Soul of Black Peru
Mississippi John Hurt, 1928 Sessions
Various, the Nuyorican Funk Experience (possibly the greatest compilation since Beleza Tropical)

I should also add Matt Costa and Jack Johnson, but not his newest cd, Sleep Through The Static. That cd sucked. Eisley's music is great for coffeehouses. As far as Bjork, I like her, but other people either like her or hate her voice.

yeah,
certain music, like bjork definitely depends on the crowd at the shop, otherwise patrons just get annoyed...

Playing a mix over a full album helps keep things from getting too static in our shop.

I can't believe that no one has mentioned
The Arcade Fire (mostly Funeral)
and
Blonde Redhead (preferably Misery is a Butterfly but they all work)
also depending on the atmosphere of the cafe, Raw Power by iggy and the stooges is the best album to play during a rush and Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation is a personal fav

Ravens & Chimes. Haven't been able to stop listening to their disk, Reichenbach Falls. They're being compared to a smaller membered version of the Arcade Fire. I disagree with the comparison, but maybe that'll spark your interest as it did mine.
