Awesome. I'm so glad you included Phil Elverum in that. I love Papa M too and "Willie", in my opinion, is Cat Power's best song. I'd also include:

David Pajo-High Lonesome Moan
The Mountain Gats-You Froze Me
Sparklehorse-See The Light and/or Devil's New
Feist-The Park
Jeff Tweedy-Radio King
Yo La Tengo-Green Arrow
The Feelies-Only Life
Mirah-La Familia
Iron and Wine & Calexico-17, Maybe Less
Devendra Banhart-Will Is My Friend
Karl Blau-The CoconutCracker Suite
Little Wings-Look What the Light Did Now

Something from Kimya Dawson perhaps...and a few others I can't roll off my head right now...but I'd love to hear any of these in a DGG film.
