Rusko - Babylon Volume 2
cutting the bassline and upping the wobble, Rusko takes us into possibly even more epic, floor filling territory than ever before with the heavy-duty near-pop jump-up insanity of 'Mr Muscle' and 'Go Go Gadget'.

Electrelane- The Power Out
Electrelane is an all-female indie-rock band from Brighton, England. Their sound crosses Stereolab's love for vintage electronics with a more raucous sound. In their second full-length album, they incorporate vocals into the mix for the first time, which sound great. All of their albums are very good.

Beastie Boys- License to Ill (1989)
Before the Beastie Boys were an obnoxious hip hop duo, they were an obnoxious punk rock duo that ruled really hard. this is their first album of loud guitar and fast drums and its so good. way better than brass monkey.

Deerhunter - On Platts Eyott Island (2008)
This recent and limited cassette release was recorded on September 15, 2008. It was meant as a tribute to John Peel, or something. Like, all the studio equipment was old, and stuff. Six of the seven tracks are reworked versions of existing Deerhunter songs, including Spring Hall Convert, Backspace Century, and four from Microcastle.

Beirut- Gulag Orkestar
Time and again, the most powerful element of Gulag Orkestar, and what ought to be emphasized, is Condon's acrobatic, powerful, emotionally nuanced voice. It could carry any style of music. Fixate for a second on the stuff he's doing on "Rhineland (Heartland)". The lyrics are dopey, but his trills and whirls are mind-blowing. Pairing these melodies with Eastern European accouterments in lieu of standard guitar-pop creates an obvious appeal. Still, the question ought to be asked: Are the songs really so incredible or do they simply mimic and mine musical traditions unfamiliar to the average indie rock fan? That said, the best songs here are a joy and the average and ho-hum tunes even have a thick and aesthetically appealing atmosphere-- in other words, it's an impressive and precocious debut.- Pitchfork

where the wild things are
this movie looks like its going to be so good, im counting down the days till it comes out. everytime i see it, this trailer moves me a little and theres water in my eyes. arcade fire does the entire soundtrack, which is pretty radical too.

Andrew Bird- Oh! The Grandeur
Andrew Bird's second album Oh! The Grandeur was released in 1999 and recorded in New Orleans. The album builds on the hot jazz vibe that Andrew Bird pioneered on their first album Thrills, but focuses more witty lyrics and deadpan delivery, as tracks like "Tea & Thorazine" and "The Idiot's Genius" display. Musically, Oh! The Grandeur keeps the live, one-take feeling of its predecessor, and Bird's fiddle playing is as expressive as ever. Andrew Bird's older albums are so much different then his newer releases, and i prefer his older much more.
