Way back in the year two thousand and something or another, I encountered a little film called Igby Goes Down. It's a pretty cool movie, sort of a Catcher in the Rye type thing starring Kieran Culkin. The soundtrack, however, blew me out of the water. To that point, I had mostly been listening to radio rock along with bizarre electronic music like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher. The soundtrack here was something different to my ears, for sure. The highlights are two songs by The Dandy Warhols, "Bohemian Like You" and "Boys Better". The former is on a record titled Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia, and it's a record that went a long way towards shaping my tastes in indie rock. Even though it came out on Capitol Records. *ahem*. Anyway, the record is all kinds of fun, and I highly recommend checking it out (and the band in general, really. They're great).
Some videos/songs from Thirteen Tales:

Igby Goes Down is one of my favorites! So, so, so good! Igby is a nickname we plan on using for whenever we have a son.
