He's extremely talented and awesome (hence him being my favorite musician *g*). He's actually very well-known in his native Canada (he's been on the cover of their equivalent of Rolling Stone several times as well as having won several awards) but he's not well known here. Sort of like the whole Terry-Pratchett-in-the-US thing, heh (although he gets more recognition now than he used to). But yes, he does have a bit of a mouth on him (*sigh*). I am a fan of both his solo work (Avalanche - Hospital Music) and the work he did with the band before that (Last of the Ghetto Astronauts - Audio of Being). I'd be glad to send you a few more tracks if you wanted to listen to some of the older stuff or anything. :)
I'll definitely give David Ackles a listen - I love finding new music!
Another track I've been listening to recently is a guy who co-wrote one of Matt's songs from Hospital Music and is now coming out with a solo album (he's done stuff with another band, too). There are 2 free tracks here:

I love Agoraphobe, and Target Practice, which is on the MySpace page.
