The Good, The Bad, & the Queen
We were wondering Blur would ever come out with another album. While technically not Blur, this album by former Blur singer/songwriter Damon Albarn is closer to his former band's sound (or, where we think that sound would have evolved to) than anything else he's put out - e.g., Mali Music or Gorillaz.

A Hawk and a Hacksaw
This one is harken us back to old eastern europe where we're sitting on a hay bale drinking beer out of a pewter stein.

A number of Sapporos in the belly and a walk through the canal section of Shinagawa at 2AM with this album on the ipod was our equivelant of the scene in American Beauty when that dude is filming the plastic bag blowing in the wind. "The Day Texas Sank To The Bottom Of The Sea" is possibly the most beautiful song ever written.

Another nice release from Micah. That said, it's just too tough following up the Gospel of Progress.

Akamai
a couple of really nice audio landscapes on this one

Caribou
electronic rock and roll

Shearwater
Jeff Buckley comparisons, a very consistently, lazy slice of Americana

Young and Sexy
we think some of the accolades thrown at the New Pornographers should instead be directed to this Candian boy-girl band

Peloton
Nice, solid debut EP from some SF locals (w/my Adobe HR rep on bass). Killer lead off song, with solid instrumentals, and hints of stereolab.
