Air - Pocket Symphony: They finally realized that their best bet was to stop fooling around and make another album that sounded exactly like Moon Safari. And i appreciate it.

Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare: Sometimes i wonder if i really like them or if i just like the guy's accent, but i guess it doesn't make a difference. Good stuff. High energy, punky, neo-new wavy, and something that i want to call 1920s gangster.

Art Brut - I think this will be better in small doses. I liked the first three songs a lot, especially the tongue-in-cheeck punky attitude of the singer, but then i thought it started getting kind of repetitive. That's what shuffle is for.

Betty Davis - Betty Davis & They Say I'm Different: Hooooly crap this is good. You know how when you buy a funk album there's like one or two really good, funky songs, and the rest of it is like schmoozy R&B? Both of these albums are *full* of the really, really good stuff.
