Miss Daisy Black: Nevroses
The album's title means 'Neuroses' and I believe it's pronounced 'nev-ros' or 'nev-roz'.
Yes, another French artist. I don't personally discount something because of its country of origin. I would have missed out on some very good music, films and food if I did.
This album has an interesting and new sound, although I personally prefer its upbeat tracks, in particular the opener 'Le Dernier Mot' (The Last Word).

Diablo Swing Orchestra: The Butcher's Ballroom
This album is just a lot of fun to listen to and I can only imagine how exhilarating it must have been to play. For a shot of energetic, almost ecstatic gypsy jazz rock, give this unique album a listen.

ALONE IN THE CHAOS: Ballads In White Forest
Math Rock is a very strange genre but it's one that I love all the same.
My sister, Sarah Morrison (Miss Morrison's Mix), introduced me to the Math Rock band, 'Minus the Bear' and I just fell in love with the genre.
Give this a listen, see if you like it.

Bézèd'h: Ton Jour Viendra
The album name means 'your day will come', and I think the band's name is pronounced "bay-zed-uh" but I have no idea what it means... ^^;
Very interesting style: celtic rock, and of course I like it because it incorporates violins (as a violinist, I'm magnetically attracted to most music with violins).
Nosebone: Pendus Haut et Court
Yes, another French ska band, I know, but trust me it's a good one. Surely the artwork alone is enough to convince you. It sold me.
(I think this album name means 'hung up and short' or something along those lines)
Systylé: Loin d'en Naître
If my French serves me well, that means 'far from birth', but I'm far from fluent.
Ska seems to be pretty popular in France: a lot of the popular ska bands on Jamendo are French, and this one is especially worth listening if you're In The Mood For Ska.
P.S. wait around a bit for the hidden track at the end!
Josh Woodward: The Simple Life
I found this guy a while ago, and I think he's just brilliant. I couldn't resist his sound. My personal favourite is track 2, Go.
Give it a listen. It won't kill you... unless you have an allergic reaction to Indie Pop...
