Few have heard of these artists and some are a lot more obscure than others.
But I dug up some interesting songs, most of which I bet you've never heard otherwise.
1. Calamity Jane - Outta money (with official music Video)
This one is easily my favorite song on the list. Bitter, but soulful. I feel it's a terrific get-you-through-things song.They were an early 90's Grunge Era band from Portland, Oregon.
There are very few songs available from them, and getting your hands on those would be very hard. I can bet most of the tracks are just generic dirty garage sound of the time. 'Outta Money' is really the only one I'd care about.
2. Timoth! - Thought I'd Call
MySpace Playlist link
Thought I'd put it here coz it's a nice tune no one will ever hear.
He is from Baltimore, and I see he has "No Thank You" under his record label. Is that an actual label? Haha.
3. Jim ether - G00d Morning Jessica

Random unofficial video, did you catch the sublimal message popping up?
Jim Ether is a lot more famous than the above two. He came out with the movie ALERT! in 2006. Indie film for people who like trippy art movies; that includes stoners. Good Morning Jessica is the only accoustic song I know by him. His other music seems to be electronic, and he's made dozens of albums.
Onward to Calgary is his second movie. From the trailer, it looks less weird than ALERT! and funny? I don't know... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzN7t-z1cE8
4. The Fugs - I Wanna Fnck You Baby
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV_o2bEfzRI
These Guys were active in the sixties, and returned in the 80's, hanging around to this day.
This sixties song is almost impossible to find. But yeah, they were pretty outrageous, and heavily slammed - among other areas, as you now heard - the area of politics.
5. Dan9erwanc - Ballad 0f Peter Atkins0n Dell
This song was available several years ago on their website, fat-pie.com. Make sure to put the dash between fat and pie, or you'll get a surprise! Don't know what happened to it, but the song is awesome and a must hear for the college student. It may be hard to catch all of the lyrics, but the beginning says it all, and the screams reinforce his point.
Here, here...

On fat-pie under music , you can check out more of their work. I like the songs they have as Grape Digging Sharon Fruits. http://www.myspace.com/grapediggers
6. One D0llar Crime - NYG
This is a gangsta rap that was also on their website for a while. Don't know who done it.. Come on though, you know it sounds tight, even if you can't take those explicit gangsta rap lyrics.

Wait, is Bugs Bunny allowed to do that?
7. Hinterlander - Blood Bright
Myspace link
Her band from Portland, Oregon is pretty cool. Deja vu. It's signed a major label according to MySpace.
A while ago I somehow found this song, Paper Crane, still available on their website that I thought was a nice tune, that simple underground sound, but well made. And now I came back and found more songs, and I'm not disappointed.
8. Paper Owls - Spooky Song
Song's off their website
More paper things, huh? paperowls.com gives a link to their MySpace too.
An unsigned band from Nebraska you may or may not like.
The song I featured is interesting though. That's a fact.
9. Jonny 5 + Yak - The Form
Before the Flobots had their name, they were an underground rap duo with beats spinning to rhymes that were hard to beat.
I heard this song a several years before I heard Flobots on CD 101 FM, and only now did I find the link between Flobots and this song.
Till next time.
