Self
I think this is the last of my Pandora discoveries for a while. I feel silly for not hearing about Self any sooner; this 1999 album, Breakfast With Girls, would undoubtedly have brightened my life lo these many years since its release. It's totally quirky indy pop, with weird electronics (all the way back in prehistoric 1999!) to keep things interesting and hints of Jellyfish scattered throughout.
Self - Kill The Barflies
Self - Meg Ryan
Self - Sucker
Recently on Comfort Radio:
Massive Attack - Karma Coma featuring DJ Shadow (UNKLE Situation Mix)
Method Man - Afterparty (featuring Ghostface)
Kid Koala - Basin Street Blues

self is the greatest! And there's so much excellent free music available at selfies.com, the unofficial official self website. There's absolutely no excuse not to check them out! Self is awesome!
Also, check out Wired All Wrong, a collaboration btw Matt Mahaffey of self and Jeff Turzo of God Lives Underwater. Not as pop as self, but still some of the best electronic rock around!

I strongly suggest to check their Subliminal Plastic Motives album (their best work IMHO, with really interesting use of samples).

I LOVE Breakfast with Girls- It All Comes Out in the Wash and Call Girls are my personal faves- Nice to see you giving this album a shout. Vince is right on Subliminal (though Breakfast is my favorite)- it rocks too
