Currently Own and Have on Heavy Rotation

--Coldplay, Viva La Vida, or Death and All His Friends (damn, this album ROCKS.)
--Elbow, The Seldom Seen Kid (right up there with Cast of Thousands...really good album, this)
--Ben Folds, Way to Normal (h58, I think you need to hear "Effington" :p )
--Beck, Modern Guilt (one of his non-hit, weird-but-great albums)
--Sigur Ros, (random Icelandic lettering here) (louder SR, but still great!)
--Rob Dickinson, Fresh Wine for the Horses (reissue, but still awesome from the Catherine Wheel singer)
--Duffy, Rockferry (yeah, what can I say, she's my girlfriend. ;) )
--Wire, Object 47 (YES. New Wire sounding like Ideal Copy-era Wire. SWEET.)
--Goldfrapp, Seventh Tree (very mellow compared to the last few, but really good)
--Hooverphonic, President of the LSD Golf Club (I LOVES me some Hooverphonic!)
--The Gaslight Anthem, That '59 Sound (I can't tell if I'm listening to Springsteen or the Replacements, but I LIKE IT)

Currently Need to Buy/Download

--UNKLE, End Titles...Stories for Film
--Mogwai, The Hawk is Howling
--Weezer, Weezer (the red album)--I can't believe we don't have this yet.
--The Replacements, random Rhino reissues


I still feel like I didn't listen to enough music this year. And it's a year ending with 8, dang it! I need more suggestions for great albums before the year's out, people!!! Help a guy out here!! :p



Oh, and might I add that eMusic is still the best $29 a month I've ever spent for 100 songs? ;)

The Coldplay sounded better to me than I thought it would. The Duffy album is Amy Winehouse not on drugs or with a bad attitude...and it's great stuff...the Goldfrapp album is my personal favorite. Her voice is amazing. I have a Gaslight Anthem EP that I found on Amie St. Music that I quite like. I'll have to check out some more.

You should look into Nicole Atkins. Simply stunning writing and singing. And as soon as I get off my current Jazz kick, I'll be checking giving some of my newer stuff some serious spinnage.

(Coltrane, Davis, Monk, Sonny Rollins, Di Meola, Charlie Parker, Coleman Hawkins...oh yeah...)

That's exactly what I said about Duffy v. Amy!

We actually have a freebie CD of Nicole Atkins around somewhere. I heard something or other of hers an dliked it very much.

If you look at my Last.fm page, you'll see that Nicole Atkins is one of my favorite artists, period...

Duffy is a stellar example of a gifted artist who has room to grow.
