Aussie singer-turned-rocker.
A bit like a down-under Roosbeef.
Slow-swinging.
From the Bad Things channel.

Slaid Cleaves - "Millionaire" (Unsung)
From the "Jace Everett" / Bad Thing channel.
Not the same, more singer-songwriter, less gritty, but sad devil-don't-care air to it.
update
"Sinner's Prayer" (from: Wishbones) , pretty dark-catchy as well

Wax Tailor - "Que Sera" (Tales of the Forgotten Melodies)
Again the Shpongle-channel, what else (nothing better when everybody is gone and you're battling fucking V3->V5 replication problems)
Finally, a worthy adversary for the Avalanches' "Frontier Psychiatrist"

Wax Tailor - "Once Upon A Past" (Hope & Sorrow)
From the "Shpongle" Pandora channel.
Intriguing voices and quotes, estranged triphop.

Nox Arcana - "The Forgotten" (Darklore Manor)
Piano and long choir-voices.
Gothic, yes, but intriguing as well.
Daft Punk - "The Game Has Changed" (Tron:Legacy OST)
This is probably not the song from the opening credits (according to the title, it is the gridrace), but powerful nonetheless.
Sweeping,
Deadmau5 - "Ghosts 'n' Stuff (Nero Remix)" (Ghosts 'n' Stuff Single)
Liked the beginning very much. Then this vocoder voice came up. Not sure what to think of that.
But ... it is pretty catchy.
Daftpunk-ish.

Groove Armada - "Edge Hill" (Goodbye Country, Hello Nightclub)

One Ring Zero - "Music For A One Man Show" (Memorandum)
Accordeons, gypsy, weird wahwah-trumpets.
Found through my Pandora's "Pogues" channel.
Slow-fast, weird. Intriguing.

Jolie Holland - "Old Fashioned Morphine" (Escondida)
Slow, jazzy, late night, dreamy.
Found through my Pandora's "Pogues" channel.
("escondido" or "escondida" (probably female) means "hidden" in Portugese)

Tin Hat Trio - "Fear Of The Sun" (The Rodeo Eroded)
instrumental, accordeon, jazzy, gypsy, slightly sad at times.
Found through my Pandora's "Pogues" channel.
Their bio on Pandora:
Transplanted from New York to the Bay Area, the chamber jazz group Tin Hat Trio consists of accordionist Rob Burger, guitarist Mark Orton, and violinist Carla Kihlstedt. The group's unique blend of structure, improvisation, and contemporary classical, folk, world, and jazz elements reflects each member's other performing experiences. Kihlstedt majored in classical violin performance at the Oberlin Conservatory and went on to become a prominent performer in both classical and improvised music, playing with artists like John Zorn and Roscoe Mitchell, and recording with Eugene Chadbourne, the Grassy Knoll, and Tom Waits. She also appeared on Philip Glass' series Music at the Anthology, sings and plays with another Bay Area band (Charming Hostess), collaborates with choreographer Jo Kreiter, and is a graphic designer/illustrator as well.
Orton started playing guitar as a child and eventually studied composition at the Peabody Conservatory and the Hart School of Music. Also a professional recording and sound engineer, Orton worked on sessions with Bill Frisell, John Zorn, and the Lounge Lizards, and engineered the sound at the Knitting Factory for two years. Orton plays banjo, lute, dobro, lap steel, and electric guitar with his other group, San Francisco's Old Joe Clarks, and has composed scores for independent films like Beverly Wachtel's Just Noticeable Difference.
