Here's an assortment of albums worth listening to that I discovered this year:
- Magneta Lane, Dancing WIth Daggers
- Kanye West, Graduation
- Mos Def, The New Danger
- Stiffed, Burned Again
- The Cloud Room, The Cloud Room
- Northern State, Can I Have This Pen?
- !!! (which should be pronounced "Bang Bang Bang" and not "Chk Chik Chick", no matter what the artists think), Louden Up Now
- Arctic Monkeys, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
And yes, part of this list is current, while part of it is woefully behind the times. That's just how I roll. Buy it on Amazon MP3, now featuring artists on all major labels except Sony.
