Some good points there, though you can't expect us old farts to throw our old records away, can you? ; )
Two things I would like to say though are that personally I think Dan Deacon* (the one artist out of your list that I know) would benefit from reining in his excesses and that I think it's fair enough that someone should mention the Teardrop Explodes on a Julian Cope website.
* I reviewed that album here if you're interested (ratings out of 7).
