Pavement's Watery, Domestic EP...

I don't know how obscure it is or if it's still in print, but it's fantastic...

Not an EP and probably not that obscure, but Elliott Smith's Either/Or is only $5.

Also Cloud Nothings' Attack on Memory is only $5 and it maybe my favorite album of the year. I think you I may have seen you already post about this one though.

Wow. Attack on Memory for $5 is a steal.

Great EP's? I'm always partial to Less Than Jake's Greased. Cuz let's face it, you need a ska punk version of the Grease soundtrack.

If you don't mind female singer/songwriters and a little bit of "retro-indie" - See if they have Heather Nova's Live From the Milky Way or Blow.





Both are excellent IMO.

You could always get Nofx's ep Cokie the Clown


It's the lovely story of a substance abusing clown who drugs his audience during his shows.

The Longest Line is so good I can't believe NOFX made it.

I'm a big fan of two John Frusciante EPs at the moment.

DC EP is a great listen. As far as Frusciante's new music goes, it's about as "normal" as you're gonna find.

Letur-Lefr is another great one. However, it's definitely out there and not for everyone--more on the electronic/hip-hop side.

Two completely different styles/sounds, but I think they're both top notch.

BTW sorry if you were looking for some different genres. Just giving my input.

This would have been my choice as well :)

Andy Prieboy's Montezuma Was a Man of Faith is incredible... It has something for everyone.

Here's a sample

Where I'm Calling You From (just a great tune with great lyrics and DRIVING drums "all of my ex-wives...from all my past lives...HAVE FORMED A POSSE ON ME!")

Joliet (russian circus gypsy-esque)

Send In The Drugs (heavy electro psychadelia)

Even has a twangy country version of LZ's "Whole Lotta Love"


ETA:

Andy was the guitarist/vocalist for Wall of Voodoo before going solo and getting more involved on the production side of things. He also wrote "Tomorrow Wendy" for Concrete Blonde.

ETA2:

Ha! Just found his Whole Lotta Love on Grooveshark. I like playing this one and seeing how long it takes people to realize what they're listening to.

Eminem sure isn't an obscure artist but his EP Infinite may be to some of yall. Classic stuff before his mainstream shite
