Mark Knopfler's new album Privateering deserves mention.  I don't like all the songs, but many of them are pretty damn good.  Borders on the cheezy or sentimental at times but I like some of that.  Surprisingly good songs.  I think it probably could have been condensed into a single CD release though.  I'll be deleting or hiding some of the louder songs.  But on the whole, I like this much better than all but Dire Straits' first s/t album.

A Fine Frenzy - Pines



Not my favorite album of theirs, first half is bit too folksy (if that's even a quantifiable thing), with less of an intimate lyrical quality. But I can see how some could love it, or at least try to learn to.

Dainty, yet eclectic FotM Aussie indie pop. Shades of Vampire Weekend, with some catchy hooks.

This album is awesome. 




Here's a song from the album on soundcloud http://soundcloud.com/asaf-avidan/asaf-avidan-different-pulses


Youtube video of him singing an older song live acoustic.  This album is less acoustic and has a different feel but you get the idea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A16VcQdTL80

Here's another acoustic song with a cello.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA5uKbzTh18

Big Boi - Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors



Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty is one of my favourite albums released in the last few years. This new one seems to continue from where the other left off on initial listen. There's still the familiar epic Big Boi scale, with big sounds and wonderfully anthemic passages, but somehow he has avoided rehashing previous successes. There's a spark here... and some really cool grooves.

Vicious Lies is a grower. There are some slower and laid back tracks in the second half that are really affecting. Very different to the balls to the wall scale of Sir Luscious.

I freakin' love The Postal Service and have only just found out vocalist Ben Gibbard is DCfC's singer. I had a preconceived notion of what type of music Death Cab played without being that familiar with their work and have perhaps subconsciously avoided them as a result. This album doesn't quite reach the heights of Give Up but it is laced with some of that magic. Looking forward to diving into DCfC's catalogue.

Nice track, thanks...will look into Give Up too.

Catching up with music today, and just put this on. Excited to hear this, since I also thought Sir Luscious Leftfoot was great. Big and anthemic is a great way to describe that album.

I think it was RD who posted about this in another thread. Perhaps the worst album cover ever, but a really good album.
