Have any good albums come out/leaked this year? (Yes, I know some have, I could make a list myself, but I want your picks so I can play catch-up).

And what's coming up that might be good?

my knowledge of new albums is largely confined to the ones you review on p4k!!

So far I like: Portishead, Robert Forster, Scooter, Etran Finatwa - Desert Crossroads (recommended by Matos on emusic - don't know much about this style, but I like what i hear here);

Top reissue = expanded (!) version of Triffids - Black Swan. This is still ace, and now my favourite B-sides are part of the album.

also on my itunes I have:

Hold Steady; Santogold; The Breeders; Vampire Weekend; Ashlee Simpson; The Fall; Matmos; Mariah Carey; Kelly Polar; Erykah Badu; Dolly Parton; Fuckbuttons; Noze;

All of which are OK but I haven't listened to for long enough to judge (OK the Breeders is a bit rub).

Catherine bought the Goldfrapp album, which is ok
