Last year I got very little up to date music at all on account it was pretty much just a year full of standard indie stuff.
I think the only up to date album I got was The Black Diamond Heavies - You Damn Right
This year is off to a flyer with 4 new albums already

The Kills - Midnight Boom
The Black Keys - Attack Release
Louis XIV - Slick Dogs & Ponies
Adam Green - Sixes & Sevens

Proving a belief that I have had for a couple of years now that the yanks are producing far better music than us at the minute

Yeah the yanks have a few good new bands out ra ra riot and scissors for lefty are also really good bands.
