I've been listening to indie like crazy trying to figure out what I like. Surprisingly, I haven't yet found the incredible volumes of amazing music which I expected. I found some songs to have lyrics that I found to be overly pretentious, and other songs were just plain weird. There's a sweet spot in my mind that a song has to hit in order for me to keep listening to it. Here's one example by Grizzly Bear which combines harmonized vocals and a Beatlesque piano riff to create a great feel-good track. Also the video is weird, but sweet. This is the kind of song I am looking for, so if you know any similar songs feel free to shoot them to me in the comments.

I completely agree with your view on indie music which is why I guess I keep listening to more and more music from the 60s and 70s. Monsters of Folk who released their debut album last year are a band you should definitely check out

It's basically a really cool and extensive music/movie tool to find similar artists/directors/movies.
It's pretty new, so I'm sure it still has a long way to go.
