i change pretty quickly too. i end up listening to about 2 or 3 new (to me) albums every week. usually i'll be into something for a few weeks and move on, reserving the right to return later.
so here's some stuff that i've liked lately
cornelius - fantasma (great japanese electronica/rock auteur)
brian jonestown massacre (saw dig!, realized these guys were on a different level than than dandies)
mf doom in various incarnations, including kmd
mellow (french hipster band, perhaps more 60s inspired than air)
sunset valley (i kinda know the singer)
steven malkmus - face the truth (ex pavement leader gets down with the synth)
album leaf and dabrye (heard on commercials)
a general musical category that i haven't seen discussed on here is library music. companies manufacture tunes and sell usage to film studios. particulatly, i enjoy the funky background music from 60s and 70s movies. artists/bandleaders include keith mansfield, syd dale, j cameron, others. the labels include kpm, telemusic, dewolfe, amphonic, others. i guess if you're really interested i can give you more info; sometimes the albums can be hit or miss.
