Not all these songs are from this year. I have been accused of being slow before but I couldn't care less.

The Whigs have made a great album. They'll become the new hype. Mark my words.
Watch out for the Poodles. They're not at all like their name suggests! Strong album!
Steve Earle's album was so good that I just couldn't choose between these two songs. 
The same goes for the Good Shoes album. I just took the first two songs to make it easy on myself. The second song reminds me a little of Maximo Park. 
Hot Chip made a wonderful album with this song for the dance floor. 
On MySpace of "What Made Milwaukee Famous" they state that one of their influences  is Jeff Buckley. This song and the singer make that very clear. Beautiful song and beautifully sung. 
Cat Power has made another covers album. She's got guts taking on this Billy Holiday song, but truly makes it her own.

And the oldies? Well, Joe Jackson has made a new album called "Rain". He's trying to go back to his roots, but although the album's not bad, it's not at all like his Look Sharp-days.
Patty Larkin, in her mid 50's already, has produced, performed and written a true alt. country album with influences from around the world. And what a voice! And she plays eleven instruments.  
Ian Hunter is 68 and going strong. His album is not bad at all and has some great songs if you skip the first two. It's clear that he never really was a glam-rocker. His voice is great and sometimes sounds like an English Bob Dylan.
