This highly anticipated album by the huge Canadian group (seriously - there's a bunch of 'em!) has some of their best work.
Start With:
1. World Sick

Check out my good friend Nick interview two members of BSS after their show at Wanderlust 2009 for his online indie radio show Off Air - Smart Rock Radio:

I just finally purchased this surprising and shockingly kick-ass album by noise-pop duo Derek E. Miller and Alexis Krauss.
Start With:
1. Tell 'Em
3. Riot Rhythm
4. Infinity Guitars
11. Treats
That's a good chunk of the album - yeah, they are that good! Loud, clever, and SUPER fun!

11. NW Apt.
Some are calling this their best release to date!

Since they formed in 2001, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have released nine amazing blues-rock albums.

1. Everlasting Light

I don't know where to begin...
This is by far one my favorite albums of all time. It transcends genre and seriously entertains.
Start With:
Who am I kidding? Listen to the entire album from start to finish!
It also includes great collaborations with artists like Kevin Barnes (of Montreal), Big Boi, and Saul Williams.

As you may recall from my last post, I almost missed the opportunity to see this great band live (at Sasquatch). After listening to this album, I gotta say I would have made a BIG mistake.
Start With:
1. Dance Yrself Clean
2. Drunk Girls
4. All I Want
Next time...I'll be in Washington for Sasquatch!
Check back in for daily posts during the festival...
