Annie is fun and has created a unique pop album with some of the catchiest songs I've heard in ages!

Justice - D.A.N.C.E



Just to keep everyone in the loop, this has been a hot download just about everywhere I've posted it (and I'm not suprised!).

Busdriver - Roadkillovercoat



Dropping fresh beats and speedy rhymes, Busdriver will make you want to turn the volume up. If you get the chance to see him live, do it!

Françoise Hardy - The Yeh-Yeh Girl From Paris



Immensely popular in her native France, the chanteuse first displayed her breathy, measured vocals in the early and mid-'60s. Her (mostly self-penned) recordings from that era draw from French pop traditions, lightweight '50s teen-idol rock, girl groups, and sultry jazz and blues -- sometimes in the same song.

The Books - The Lemon of Pink



The Books creates textures of sound combining all sorts of analog recordings. The use of vocal samples and cut up acoustic tracks makes this album the wonder it is.

The second studio album released by the Jackson brothers. With the help of well written songs and a team of producers this cd will standout for years to come.

Slagsmålsklubben - Boss For Leader



Mash a group of creative Swedish boys (Frej, Beebop, Joni, Kim, Hannes and Björn) with a pile of synthesizers and this is what you'll get. It's everything I can ask for.

Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters



Super fresh album by keyboardist Herbie Hancock. This album is all funk and more.

Björk - Volta



Björk's newest release, Volta, produced with the help of Timbaland is another hit in my books. You'll hear everything you though you knew about Björk, then you will also hear songs with a nice touch of Timbaland (If you are unfaliliar with Timbaland he has recently produced music by Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado).
