so. much. franz ferdinand? nah, brah. More like Seven Swans Sufjan, Mike Kinsella's I Do Perceive, Madvillainy even though every indie rock white boy agrees, the one-two Animal Collective-Panda Bear punch, Aloha's Here Comes Everyone, the Despistado EP for the obligatory Jade Tree release, my Erlend Øye discovery, and the Make Believe disc should bring more good things our way. Those are, of course, in no particular order and I'm likely missing some.
