Thanks, I will check EBTG out, since the other bands I mentioned are also considered electro-lounge.
It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who picks and chooses from various styles. What I don't understand are those who think they are smarter than others simply because they listen to a particular band. I see no problem in listening to Stereolab, Metallica, early Genesis, The Clash, Nick Cave and all styles in between.
As for Dylan, I have some stuff but it has never connected with me (but I did give it a try and do like some songs).
Digitally Imported (di.fm) streams a pretty good lounge channel at 96kbps. I've bought two really chill electro-lounge tracks off iTunes in the last week because of music I've heard there (Soma Sonic's "Oxygen" and Plastyc Buddha's "Rhodes Royce"). I swear, I have spent more money on music because of the Internet and iTunes than I ever would have otherwise. Stores do not carry 90% of what I buy, and even iTunes maybe carries 40%, but the exposure to and availability of foreign and niche music has given me more reasons to spend money.

My collection is very wide (~400 different artists) but not particularly deep. It goes from Doris Day to The Smiths to Bob Marley to Front Line Assembly to Social Distortion to Bach, so you could say my tastes are diverse. I don't have a fetish for any particular band because they all produce plenty of crap too. The playlist I choose very much depends on my mood.
