Upbeat music suggestions?

I am need of a good music infusion. Most of music is mainstream and, quite frankly, I'm in need of something new.

Typically I like upbeat "catchy" stuff. I listen to Rock (U2, VH etc), Blues (SRV, Cray, Beniot etc), Alternative/Techno (Depeche, Cranberries, Lush), Jazz (Miles etc), Pop, R+B and even Folk (Natalie Merchant, Joan Osborne etc).

I need some good suggestions for a breath of fresh air so that I may enjoy my music (and system) more often. I need it to be fairly upbeat though as I typically dislike downtrodden and melancholy types of music.

Guide me wise ones!

The Shins - Oh, Inverted World
Quite catchy, well recorded, really good, critically thumbs-up, clean guitar-based pop/rock.

Polyphonic Spree - The Beginning Stages of...
Around 20 band members, including a chior, unique, overty happy, simple songs. Much better live, if you get the chance.

Ladytron - 604, and Light & Magic
80s-type synth w/ female vocals. Albums are too long, but have enough good stuff to buy. Good for DM fans.

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
If you haven't heard of this: Heavier rock than any bands you listened, but I think you might like. Really cool, non-depressing album.
