Just got "Celebration" by Thomas Function and love it.   Especially the track "A long walk".

This is great!

Thomas Function- Celebration is so good and challenges Vampire Weekend for album of the year so far. Thanks for recommending it Pinky!

im confused how vampire weekend is album of the year.  unless we're talking literally OF the year.  after 2008, i dont see this album (or this band?) aging well. 

its all relative, i suppose.

The new Portishead is their best album yet.

Would never expect that from a band after a ten year hiatus, but there ya go.

Now it's up to My Bloody Valentine to pony up and follow suit.

Anyone got anything illuminating to say about the new Spiritualized? Any compelling reasons to buy another one, if I've already got their first three albums? Or just more of the same?

I haven't heard the self-titled, but yeah, this album is incredible. "We Carry On" is up there with "American Boy" for song of the year.

Other than that, I think my most listened to are the Times New Viking and Erykah Badu.

Ladytron- Velociforo

There are a few bad tracks but the highlights are the best tracks the band has ever done.
