|
 | Santogold by Santogold
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $9.98 Eclectic with all the right hooks
|

Buy used from: $13.98 Bare bones record circa 1963
|
 | Visiter by The Dodos
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $7.36 Still not sure how best to describe this band - dark, acoustic rock that builds into epic climaxes
|
 | Tha Carter III by Lil Wayne

|
 | Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings by Counting Crows
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $3.00 Ok, perhaps guilty pleasure (part 2) for 2008 - Duritz is still a great lyricist and performer
|

|

 | Narrow Stairs by Death Cab for Cutie

|
 | Oracular Spectacular by MGMT
