------------------ thanks!

Anita Tijoux - 1977:  No idea what's going on here, but this is flavour!

Arms - Heat & Hot Water (Passion Pit Remix):  Totally over-the-top pop that takes the excesses of the 80s, dips it in some glistening Passion Pit synth, and just dares you to lick it.

Badbadnotgood - The Medley (Bastard, Lemonade, AssMilk):  Instrumental jazz renditions of tracks of the new Bastard LP.  TOO SOON?  At least El Michels Affair had given enough time for nostalgia to set in! 

Bassnectar - The 808 Track ft Mighty High Coup:  Super grind synths don't often interest me, but Bassnectar slips out the occassional track that isjust too damn addictive, often with a catchy vocal sample. 

Daft Punk - Derezzed (Bright Shades Rework):  The deep electro of the Tron soundtrack gets an appropriate ++dancefloor rework.

Hey Rosetta! - New Sum (Nous Sommes)
Hey Rosetta! - Parson Brown (Upirngaangutuq Iqalunni)
Hey Rosetta! - Welcome:  The new LP Seeds is quite awesome.  It fills a place between that overwhelming Arcade Fire intensity and that seductively overwhelming Canadiana jam-folk of Ohbijou.  And they pull it off fabulously.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.  Go see them on tour if you get a chance.  This album will be with you all summer long.

Jesse Dangerously - Cold Comfort
Jesse Dangerously - How Shall I Send Thee (Apt Pupil Remix):  Humble & Brilliant is the new CD and it's now in physical and MP3 form.  BUT it also comes with a zine, which is kind of perfect and awesome for an album like this.

Teen Daze - Something
Teen Daze - Together:  New singles from this dreampop-cum-downtempo group.

The Kills - DNA:  Oooo lovely bluesy rock track from the new album Blood Pressures.  For those that want more Joan Jett in their life!

Tied & Tickled Trio and Billy Hart - Ghost Allaround:  Back to the jazz!   T&TT hook up with Mr. Hart and the resulting album "La Place Demon" should appeal to many contemporary jazz fans.  I just couldn't get in to a lot of it...  but then THIS track hit me, right at the very end and it just swept me away.  Fabulous.

TV On The Radio - Caffeinated Consciousness
TV On The Radio - Will Do:  I am on the record for being supremely bored and uninterested in TV On The Radio for the most part, but these two tracks off the new album Nine Types Of Light are prety darn irresistible.  Let's hope the rest of the album keeps up the goodness.

White Hinterland - Lucky Cloud:  Taken off of the Fresh From The Garden Tour CD, I love this dreamy "little suzie's trapped down the well" kind of earthen folk music.

Wildlife - Killing For Fun:  And the dark folk takes a turn for the morose.  HAPPY WEEKEND YOU MELANCHOLY PSYCHOPATHS!
