1. Story Of O – Oneida – Who said this isn’t an acquired taste? Not me. it is. But if you like how the repetition at the heart of music (as opposed to sound) happens, this is where it’s happenning.
2. Red Rose – Hey Rosetta – Canadian very arranged folk pop rock sound. Catching em at Howery Ballroom on Tuesday.
3. The Vastest Island – People Of The north – A thing of intense power at Bowery Ballroom Friday.
4. Big Wave – Jenny and Johnny
5. Saturdays – Cut Copy – Handclaps aplenty
6. Flitter Freeze (feat Mark E. Smith) – Where’s North from here? FUUUUUUNY
7. You’re No Good – Frankie Rose and the Outs – One thing we can all agree upon? It is harder to record an album then a single. But easier to record anonly OK album then an only OK single.
8. They’re Coming For Me – Madina Lake
9. Month Of May – Arcade Fire
10. Groove Me – Maximum Balloons
