Basically, as the title says i’m looking for some new music to listen to since i love finding new music that i like (who doesn't, eh?), so I thought it might be a good idea to open a thread here asking for recs. :P
Anyways, lately I’ve been a lot less into the darker rock/metal stuff than i used to be, and have really been getting into ~lighter~ stuff, so i’m sorta looking for stuff similar to Dredg, The Decemberists, Fleet Foxes, Modest Mouse, and Doves, i guess? I'm pretty open to anything though.
Here’s my lastfm page if it’s of any use:

I've got more if you're liking the vibe of this music.
The other stuff also sounded pretty good, just not stuff i can really get into, i guess. I might listen to them all over again tomorrow.
One band I love to death, but will admit they arn't for everybody (though should be) is Love You Long Time. Great Indy band from Rexburg, Idaho. (I know them and they are really are pretty cool).
Try "I Don't Party like I used to", the video is kinda goofy, but eh, thats what they are.

the rest of their music on Youtube isnt the greatest quality, you can go to their myspace page though and I'd check out the songs "Power" and "Dream Killer 2.0" as well.

Cool. I'm pretty sure my eldest brother likes Bon Iver since he's had it playing before (in the car) and sung Skinny Love (poorly) before. :P I like that.
Also, i know one of my friends likes The Format and i checked it out and i was wondering which of their albums sounds the most like the song Sore Thumb by them 'cause i like that song a fair bit. Eisley sounds nice enough, and i'm gonna check them out further. Pedro The Lion is nice, too actually. Just not something i can really get into.
Sweet! Haha. I can see some similarities.
Band Of Horses is good. I like Is There A Ghost a lot. Also, No One's Gonna Love You.
And, yeah, Love You Long Time probably isn't for me. =/ Nice band name, though. :P
Thanks a lot for the recs guys!
