The Seldom Seen KidThe Seldom Seen Kid by Elbow
Buy used from: $14.99
One of Britain's best bands return in fine style. My album of 08 so far...
FlockFlock by Bell X1
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $3.57
Impressive third outing for the Irish band. My other album of 08 so far. Should appeal to fans of Radiohead and The Frames.
To SurviveTo Survive by Joan as Police Woman
Buy used from: $32.78
A richly emotive sophomore album from Saint Joan
HideawayHideaway by The Weepies
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $8.07
I'm going to be bold and say that Hideaway is The Weepies best album yet. 'Antarctica' & 'How You Survived The War' are instant classics.
Memories & DustMemories & Dust by Josh Pyke
Buy new: $22.99 / Used from: $14.34
Aussie singer-songwriter Josh Pyke pairs catchy melodies with incisive, memorable lyrics. This album came out in '07, but is new to me and quite a find. Highly recommended.
Some People Have Real ProblemsSome People Have Real Problems by Sia
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $5.16
Wasn't too sure about Sia's latest at first. Given time, I'm now finding it hugely enjoyable. One of the best from '08 thus far.
Giving Up the GhostGiving Up the Ghost by Jackie Greene
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $6.89
Jackie Greene's fifth album is a winner. Engaging, lively and occasionally quite poignant rock music. Standouts include: 'Shaken', 'Animal' and 'Uphill Mountain'
Neptune CityNeptune City by Nicole Atkins
Buy new: $12.98 / Used from: $0.01
Big, beautiful, swooning, heart-bursting pop songs reminiscent of classic Springsteen and Orbison. I've fallen hard for Atkins' music.
The Odd CoupleThe Odd Couple by Gnarls Barkley
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.00
A second helping of unhinged genius from Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse.
RobynRobyn by Robyn
Buy new: $35.99 / Used from: $3.58
Robyn is on a mission to save pop music, and this excellent album is the proof.
Falling Off the Lavender BridgeFalling Off the Lavender Bridge by Lightspeed Champion
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $3.75
Wondrously melodic chamber-pop from Dev Hynes. Check out 'Dry Lips' for the proof.
Flight of the ConchordsFlight of the Conchords by Flight of the Conchords
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $7.47
A music/comedy album that is actually funny! from New Zealand's greatest living ambassadors.
Count to TenCount to Ten by Tina Dico
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $4.94
Danish artist's latest album of adult-alternative pop/rock. Enjoyable, if like me, you like that sort of thing.
The Golden AgeThe Golden Age by American Music Club
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $5.84
More wonderfully tuneful melancholy from Mark Eitzel & co.
