Waiting around for an alBUM like you

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I am in my yearly "jesus i'd better catch up on some albums then" conscience fit. It is like the fable of the grasshopper and the ant, the ant works hard listening to albums all year and has a proper year end list that they've thought about and all, whereas the poptimist grasshopper swans about listening to McFly and has no resources when winter comes in.

But now grasshoppers have the interweb so in yr face ant.

I have albums by Enrique, Infernal, Radiohead, Siobhan Donaghy, Field, Fall Out Boy, Roisin Murphy and Studio to listen to. I NEED MOAR. What albums have you heard so far this year that you would urge me to listen to?

(I know I talked to some of you about this yesterday.)

The only ones I'd recommend to you Tom (ie that I think there is a good-to-strong chance you will like) that you haven't already or aren't intending to hear (afaik) are Goodz, Amos and Rowland. Maaaaaybe Ny.

I bought a promo version of Bittersuss the other day and am enjoying it immensely.
