A Panic Sets In
Ack! We are almost halfway through the year and I have only 2 or 3 CDs that were released this year. What's going on here??

Okay folks, I need you. What are your cds of the year at the (almost) halfway point?

I know I haven't yet shut up about it, but "Dear John" by Loney Dear is the best ever.

I'm not surprised, it's a little obscure. I can zip it and send it to you tonight if you want.

I second Camera Obscura. Andrew Bird's Noble Beast is great as well. The only others I can think of that I've liked:
It's Not Me, It's You - Lily Allen
Hazards of Love - The Decemberists
Naked Willie - Willie Nelson
The Ecstatic - Mos Def

Naked Willie?? Oh man, I may pick that up for title alone. And Mos Def, I really need to listen to some of his stuff. I love him as an actor. I have the Decemberists and Lily Allen is kind of a guilty pleasure so I'll check that out too. Thanks!!

I can't think of anything I've purchased this year that actually came out this year. 0_0

Though I'm totally going to get the new Camera Obscura now, haha.

<3 Mos Def.

You should give The Coup a try. Nothing like Mos Def, I'm just sayin' give them a try. I've recently developed a liking for Common. I've also fallen head over heals for Mirah.

My two favorite albums of this year were release last year and they're both kid cd's (Alphabutt and Snacktime, if you wanna know). Regina Spektor has a new one out that I am already in love with.

This may or may not be helpful. I'm guessing the later.

Dammit, that's what I forgot to add, the new Mirah album. Yeah, I enjoy her. And I grabbed the new Regina Spektor today. Have yet to give it a listen though.

A couple of recommendations for Mos Def means I'll be picking that up too. Thanks!!

Please don't tell me how awesome the new Regina Spektor is. I don't wanna know!

I like how I said I was already in love with it and I've heard the ONE release.

I'll third the Camera Obscura - it is quite good. I really like Hazards of Love by The Decemberists - and you can't really go wrong with the Eels... And I'm stalling trying to bring up my iTunes to get better rec's - but it's stuck "loading" - so maybe more later...
