Hi all, this link might be helpful.
Specifically this filter, although I removed the if statement to make custom post types show up in taxonomies as well as the front page.
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_get_posts' );
function my_get_posts( $query ) {
if ( is_home() && false == $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] )
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'page', 'album', 'movie', 'quote', 'attachment' ) );
return $query;
}
