Kanye West – 808s & Heartbreak

Who doesn’t like Kanye West?  He’s got it all.  Awesome rapper, awesome lyricist, awesome beats, awesome everything.  And on this one he sings.  But – can he play an instrument?

 

Coldplay – Prospekt’s March EP

If only their last album had been longer… Oh wait – these are the tracks that weren’t finished in time for the release.

 

Beirut – The Flying Club Cup

Gypsy music from a kid out of Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Who would of thunk it?

 

Department Of Eagles – In Ear Park

The lead singer of Grizzly Bear crafts some catchy pop songs that will haunt you.

Devandra Banhart and friends create a weird and wacky album.  But very listenable!  Crazy tunes about eating hummus from Trader Joes and screw Abe Lincoln!….. Nah – I’m just kiddin’!!

 

Greg Laswell – Three Flights From Alto Nido

This producer from San Diego knows how to write some great songs.

Rough tough voice.  Mean lean tunes.
