I've been listening to Pandora almost everyday at work lately and continously adding new music and weeding out the dislikes. I'm adding the link to share my station should anyone be interesting in sampling.

Awww, the Brainiac singer/guitar/moog player died in a car wreck and naturally the band broke up. Shmersal now is in a band called Enon. Seen 'em live a couple times. They're freaking excellent.
Yehp, that's right. I know Enon... but don't really dig them as much as Brainiac. I'd see Enon live tho, given the opportunity. Granted, I don't know either of the bands too well but they're both in my music library. I love Moogs; they're one of the best - if not the best analog synths. I'll get one someday hopefully. Sadly Mr. Moog died.
