Maybe a song or two, but on the whole ... iTunes Fail. Arcade Fire is a good choice. Funeral is my favorite of their "offerings". Neon Bible is good too. (Except for the part where he says, "Working for the church while your family dies." I've always resented that line, even though the song is FANTASTIC!) If I were making recommendations based on my current playlists, my recommendations would include: The Decemberists (Crane Wife) Wilco (Wilco [the album] -- except for Wilco [the song]. I do not love it.) Avett Brothers (Emotionalism) Mark Olson (The Salvation Blues) Ben Folds (Songs for Silverman) Feist iTunes says Wilco is in the country genre?

I always recommend Michael Franti & Spearhead (specifically, the "Yell Fire!" album). They're coming to the Idaho Botanical Garden in September--we just got tickets yesterday and I am so! excited! They do a blend of world/reggae/protest music. It's great. Hmm, tough to say what’s available from the Boise library, but you could always put in a hold request.
