Music:
Sloan of course. Phontaine, Theivery Corporation, The Decemberists, Indie Rock in general.
Movies:
Amelie. Secret Lives of Alter Boys. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind. Little Miss Sunshine (who doesn't like that movie?)
Television:
SIx feet under is the best show that has ever been on television. As for shows which are actually currently running, I have to say that What Not To Wear hooks me every time.
Books:
The Kite Runner. Memoirs of a Geisha. God of Small Things. No Great Mischief. Blink. I also have a soft spot for "quick and easy" novels like Maeve Binchy.
