I have these:

Dum Dum Girls - He Gets Me High EP

PJ Harvey - Let England Shake

The Joy Formidable - The Big Roar 1/2

The Go! Team - Rolling Blackouts 1/2

Joan As Police Woman - The Deep Field

Yelle - Safari Disco Club

Lykke Li - Wounded Rhymes 1/2

The Raveonettes - Raven in The Grave 1/2

Those Dancing Days - Daydreams and Nightmares

Wanda Jackson - The Party Ain't Over

I have to listen to the last two a few more times and see if they grow on me.

I've bought a few cds this year. I haven't found any albums that I just LOVE yet, but here is my list so far:

Mary Mary - Somethin Big 2 out of 5

Kirk Franklin - Hello Fear 3 out of 5

Jennifer Hudson - I Remember Me 2 1/2 out of 5

Chris Brown - F.A.M.E. 4 out of 5

Miguel - All I Want Is You 1 out of 5

Mint Condition - 7 3 1/2 out of 5

[Edited 5/3/11 4:21am]

Mint Condition - 7 Arguably the best cd of this year in R&B

Probably will get Musiq Soulchild new cd tomorrow MessageInTheMusiq. Sounds good but

don't be turned off by the first single Anything as i was. He more than

makes up for it with the rest of the cd.

These 2 cd's will probably be the only ones i buy the first half of the year.

Just not into buying music much these days. There just isn't much to pick

from these days and i don't buy cd's these days for the hell of it

just to build a collection.

Only thing I've purchased so far is Mint Condition "7" which I love!!!

Looking forward to new releases from Dream Theater and Arch/Matheos....Prog Metal stuff.

I have an interest in the new Whitesnake and Mary Mary CD's as well....WS's "Love Will Set You Free" and MM's "Walking" are great first singles.

Pj Harvey and The Kills, that's it 2011 wise....so far.

Kate Bush and Bjork to come, hoping for a new Bat For Lashes album this year too.

[img:$uid]http://991.com/gallery_180x180/Bootsy-Collins-Tha-Funk-Capital-535905-991.jpg[/img:$uid] Pretty good album. A little long. Bursting with funk and tributes to funk. Most of the album has a 70's / 80's 90's party feel.

I'm definitely on standby for those... and the new Wendy & Lisa EP.

No, thanks! Don't know how I missed that one.

I've actually been listening to Dee Dee's side project The Mayfair Set more than the new EP lately:
