I don't think I've been impressed with too much this year.  Not sure how long some of these will stick around, but here are some things that stood out:

Daughters
High on Fire
Love is All
Male Bonding
Roky Erickson (at least the half I've heard so far)
Spoon
Surfer Blood's "Swim"
Wooden Shjips (released this year, but has mostly older stuff on it)

Disappointed in the new Hold Steady and Caribou albums.  And yet again, Broken Social Scene has me wondering why everyone shits their pants over these guys.

New Caribou was disappointing to me, too.

Wait there is actual new music still being released?  I'm so deep into the various 60s and 70s Soul/Funk/R&B re-issues I haven't noticed.

Obviously the new good stuff is

Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings
Dr. Rubberfunk
The on going Ash A to Z series
Liked the new De Novo Dahl

Gotta a bunch of eMusic stuff to catch up on including Christian Prommer and Chumbawamba

i went to a "music store" in a mall this evening . . . and saw the prices they attempt to charge for music.  how do those places stay in business?

[Jaguar]

^ High end mall rats and Beamer guys who think that chains are good things.

Either that or they are fronts for the mob using their crappy over priced stores to launder money.

I don't get it either, especially in this day of Amazon and tons of other much better and more affordable offerings.

[Vas Deferens]

great stuff.
