The Walkmen - You & Me

This album sortof of washed over me the first few times, but as I continue to polish it I'm finding all kinds of amazing things. I think It's something I'm going to spend a lot of time with.

I love "Four Provinces".

Dawn Kinnard The Courtesy Fall
Sunfold Toy Tugboats

Brian Wilson That Lucky Old Sun
Nightmares On Wax Thought So
TK Webb & The Visions Ancestor

Picked up a couple of used ones for a good price:

Nas - Illmatic (I've listened to this a couple of times and I can see why it's considered classic)
GZA - Legend of the Liquid Sword (I've listened to this a couple of times and I can see why it's considered sub-par compared to Liquid Swords. Not bad though)

American Gangster - Jay-Z

New & Used:

Willem Maker Stars Fell On
Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh Daybreak: Fainne an Lae
Congregation Congregation

Blue Mountain Midnight In Mississippi

Okkervil River The Stand Ins
Lady Dottie & the Diamonds Lady Dottie & the Diamonds
Wovenhand Ten Stones

Dazzle Ships, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

Thé au Harem d'Archimède, Ricardo Villalobos

Not CDs, but got them on iTunes:

Hercules and Love Affair - Hercules and Love Affair
Blind (single with remixes) - Hercules and Love Affair
You Belong (single with remixes) - Hercules and Love Affair
Express Love and Rockets

I'm a fanatic for Antony and the Johnsons, so Hercules was a natural purchase. I bought Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven by Love and Rockets a few months ago and couldn't stop listening to it. So I decided to get some more. Thus, I've got high hopes for Express.

Pivot O Soundtrack My Heart
The Donkeys Living On the Other Side

Last night off of iTunes:

Antony & the Johnsons - Antony & the Johnsons

I had this on my old iPod, but sadly Hydraglog (its name) died. Now, Hydraglog 2 (my new iPod's name) has it.

The Rhumb Line- Ra Ra Riot
Unfortunately I cannot put it on my iPod because my computer is being annoying, I really like the album though.

Pyramids - s/t
Laura Marling - Alas, I Cannot Swim
Elizabeth & the Catapult - s/t
Kanye West - The College Dropout
Scissor Sisters - s/t
Kerli - Love is Dead
Nine Inch Nails - Broken

Analysis: Scissor Sisters is probably the best pop throwback album I heard this year. I've pretty much ignored West so and with all the praise I just decided I'd buy it. Kerli and Elizabeth & the Catapult are two good pop albums. I've been meaning to buy "Broken" forever; it was okay. Was expecting much more. Goodbye for now.

A reissue of Jimmie Spheeris Isle Of View and The Original Tap Dancing Kid in a double disc set. And a compilation, The Best of Q65, Nothing But Trouble, 1966-68, of the great Dutch beat band.
