Micheal Gira. He was in the band Swans. His solo stuff is really nice and he's quite funny, too.

Bonnie Prince Billy. He's got a sound similar to Band of Horses, but more twangy, I feel. He's fun to listen to for a change.

Will Oldham. Similar sound to the previous two. Some of his stuff is more instrumental, which I like. Check out his song "Emmaneul." It may be a little hard to find.

For a change of sound, check out the Cold War Kids. Great sound.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Cool sound, very catchy. Sounds like: Jesu, Jesus and Mary Chain, but a little softer, in my opinion

White Rabbits. Kind of sound like MGMT, but less MGMT if you catch my drift. They maybe sound a little like Vampire Weekend as well. Just check them out, though. I feel like they'd be a good band to listen to over summer.
Other artists to check out that are always a good listen:
Elliott Smith, Chris Garneau, Misfits, Band of Horses, Bon Iver, UGK, Mos Def, Crystal Castles, Bloc Party, etc. etc.
Location: Outside under a tree where there is a slight breeze. Maybe move up onto a porch once it gets later.
Drink: Anything cold, really. Ice cold, I mean. Something that will quench your thirst.
Clothing item: Hat, specifically a Fedora. But only if you look good in them, which I don't.
City: Some place warm, but not like, nasty hot, humid weather. Stay away from that shit.
Companion (s): Good friends, good food, good books
Things to leave behind: Watches or anything that tells time.
