Lost Patrol - Launch and Landing (This is an obscure band from NY fronted by a woman with a beautiful, Mazzy Star-like voice. They're the sweetest, blurriest band to involve surf guitar.)

Art in Manila - Set the Woods on Fire (I picked up the album at my inaugural visit to an Amoeba record store while I was in Los Angeles. I listened to it over and over again on my drive down to San Diego which was the best middle-of-the-night soundtrack I could've hoped for. I was also surprised to hear a cover of my favorite song from Les Savy Fav who also had a great new release this year.)

Les Savy Fav - Let's Stay Friends (I sorta kinda have a crush) Gogol Bordello - Super Tantra (Viva waltzing parlor punk!)

Laura Veirs - Saltbreakers (The irony of a song called "Don't Loose Yourself" is that you do just that.)

Kristen Hersh - Learn to Sing Like a Star (Kristen is one of my heroes. Her voice, weathered by the harsh terrain of the music industry, always has something profound to say.)

Maps - We Can Create (This is the kind of music that can instantly make you feel like you've been swept into an epic fairytale.)

Blonde Redhead - 23 (Some of the most enchanting to work to come from 4 AD since its reigning days of the counter-culture.)
