    the national - high violet
    broken social scene - forgiveness rock record
    preservation hall jazz band - a benifit to preservation hall
    peter wolf - midnight souveniers

    ...i've heard some other good stuff, but nothing really that great. actually i'd say other than the first three i mentioned, i haven't been too enthusiastic for anything i've heard this year.

    really looking foward to hearing a new arcade fire album, hopefully it comes through sooner than later.

    Having just listened to the 30 second clips of the new STP record, I think that could well be it. First Kiss On Mars sounds awesome, absolute classic melody. I don't know why I'm so surprised, it's not like they haven't written countless awesome songs in the past.

    7. Jack Rose - Luck In The Valley
    8. John Butler Trio - April Rising
    9. Guanaco - Sky Burials
