MOONBEAM, YOU ARE SOOO RIGHT.
I was just going to make a thread similiar to this one last week because I notice that I'm starting to really stretch my wallet because I'm buying so much GREAT music and we're barely out of the First Quarter. So far, I've LOVED... 
Kudu :: Death of the Party Currently *THIS* is my album of the year so far and one of my favorite discoveries of 2006!! Immediate standout[!!!] I've been waiting for an album like this. They're in the same company of post-punk dance revival acts like LCD Soundsystem but they have a "not disco" sound of smart lyrics, pop and style. Some would say they are a like a black Goldfrapp (since it's a man/woman duo with a stylish, façonnable electronic vibe) but they are 10x cooler, funkier and grittier than G.frapp! True, G.frapp does rousing early 80s-infused tunes, but Kudu is not mired by that era! Also, if you love Annie or M.I.A. in any way you will LOVE this. Trust me. There's playful traces of Salt-N-Pepa in one track and even an indie electro love ode to a certain bulletholed rap star : :. I've been playing the sh*t out of this album since I've bought it and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone. I want to see them live later this year. [ Kudu's website ]
Infadels :: We Are Not The Infadels The Knife :: Silent Shout Goldfrapp :: Supernature Mylo :: Destroy Rock & Roll Morningwood :: Morningwood Cyantific :: Ghetto Blaster Jonas Brothers :: It's About Time Fefe Dobson :: Sunday Love P!nk :: I'm Not Dead Junior Senior :: Hey Hey My My Yo Yo Plus, I'm awaiting the release of these albums The Presets :: Beams (April 18!) (Another of my favorite discoveries of 2006! This album was out last year in Australia and is coming Stateside this month. I heard the preview tracks from it, and this sh*t is crazy... you all won't know what to do with this! Not containable in any sense!) Amel Larrieux (April 25) The Ark :: State of the Ark (April) [saw them live last month! Loved it] Annie (she's working with Richard X again  plus I want to see what she cooks up with the other producers on this one!)
Nelly Furtado :: Loose (May) Kelis :: Kelis Was Here (June) [Raphael Saadiq is collaborating again!] Tori Fixx :: Chocolate (Summer '06) OMG I can't WAIT to hear where he's taking us now. Janet (September) Les Rythmes Digitales Jamelia Sophie Ellis-Bextor (Summer) Scissor Sisters (Summer/Early Fall) Brooke Valentine Kenna :: Face Res Zoot Woman etc. Not to mention the tours, festivals and live shows! Has ALREADY shaped up to be a superb music year  THANK G*D FOR ALL THIS GREAT NEW MUSIC!!!

I want this one pretty badly too. Annie (she's working with Richard X again
plus I want to see what she cooks up with the other producers on this one!)I met with her in Washington DC a week and a half ago and she's in the studio right now in NYC! She's already recorded about 3 tracks! I gave her a copy of 3121 and she wrote me on her forum telling me that she was super inspired by it! Res
Do you have any info on when/if her next album will come out? I've been EAGERLY awaiting her follow-up for a long time now! Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

It's on the indie lable Nublu (where acts like Brazilian Girls and Wax Poetic got their start. I live in L.A., but even I had to go to an indie music store to get it. The corporates may or may not have it. But it's available at the Nublu site here and the iTunes Music Store. I recommend getting the CD because I love how the physical disc looks. It reminds me of the mascara'd visual in Prince's "When Doves Cry"... but with fangs! I met with her in Washington DC a week and a half ago and she's in the studio right now in NYC! She's already recorded about 3 tracks! I gave her a copy of 3121 and she wrote me on her forum telling me that she was super inspired by it!
That is AWESOME[!!!] Wowww, you have some rapport with Annie! I was happy that she responded to me on her official site (you may've seen my posting ) asking her to come back to L.A. Whenever she comes back in town I'm definitely running to the show since I loved the s**t out of Anniemal and her DJ-Kicks comp!!!

Do you have any info on when/if her next album will come out? I've been EAGERLY awaiting her follow-up for a long time now! I don't have a concrete date. I heard February, but that came and went. Apparently she's still with MCA records (her site http://www.resmusic.com still has active updates on live shows around the country) She's done a lot of live acts in L.A. And she toured with Talib Kweli late last year. She's been performing several songs from her new disc (one entitled "Pretender") and they follow in the sci-fi/new wave R&B vibe of her debut... Whatever info I do get though, I will def. pass it on to you! RCA = MCA, edit. [Edited 4/4/06 23:08pm] | |

OOOOOH, you best to get this album. Electronic heavennnn. They went darker this time out, but the album is so DOPE. I love the vibe it creates. You may have trouble finding it at most corporates (since there is no offical domestic release planned) plus they sell this for $22-$30.00 at a retail store because of how rare it is. But if you want to be smart like me get it from http://www.cd-wow.com it's only GBP £8.57 which is $15.80 US (plus shipping is free) | |

Dilla got nice on his swan song. There are hits to be mined out of those beats (for deserving artists). Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

The new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album is more of a conventional rock record--not as frenetic as 'Fever To Tell'. It's kind of like comparing The Distillers' 'Coral Fang' to their older punk recordings. | |

CinisterCee said: UndercovaBrotha said: T.I. - King How is it? I saw it was sold out in stores.It's pretty solid! T.I. brings it on quite a few levels. I really got a kick out of hearing him sample Crystal Waters' "Gypsy Woman" in one of his tracks. I thought I was hearing things, at first. Nope! I was humming "La da dee, la da da" to the beat. You'd probably enjoy it.  Ooh, little darlin' if you're
