I think Deerhunter's releasing a new album this year, too, aren't they?
I'm looking forward to those Wolf Parade and LCD releases as well - It's a great year for music!
I'm pumped for Arcade Fire and Delta Spirit. Hopefully Radiohead will drop one on us before the end of the year.
I am LOVING The National's High Violet.
Black Keys released their album this week. It's a gem I think and I hear there's a surprise for the CD purchaser. They say it's too long, but if you're a fan of the keys' than you should pick this bad boy up
LCD SOUNDSYSTEM!!!!!!
New Arcade Fire Album "The Suburbs"!!!
Also I just got the Oasis' single Collection "Time Flies". It was a great deal. even though I have all the singles, most on vinyl, I loved having all the videos. I always loved the music videos. and their last live show. All that for very cheap. Can't beat that.
I'm waiting for No Age's new album. Oh how I love those dudes.

I got the Black Keys' album, and the surprise was the fact that the CD is heat sensitive. It is completely black when you get it but once you take it out of your CD player it is vanilla white with black text. It slowly fades back to black over time, then you can mess with the coloring just by touching it (fingerprints and such). I had no idea there was going to be a surprise in the first place, and I personally found this SO COOL.
The songs are good too. Simple, dirty stuff.
I'm looking forward to Coldplay's album. They're not that great, but I'm very excited to see where they're going - they are one of the few way-mainstream bands I know of actively pursuing non-mainstream ideas (weird time signatures, unexpected instruments, unconventional arrangements, all done in a completely sincere and organic way).
Janelle Monae! She's on tour with Of Montreal - be sure to check her out!
I've just recently been introduced to the music of Mumford and Sons Sigh no More and I must say it's pretty amazing folky music. I can't wait to see them at Lolla
I grazed through some of Janelle Monae and I'm digging it, but it struck me as odd for a bit haha.
I love the Black Keys album and I consider it one of my personal best of 2010 so far. I love every song on that album. High Violet is a close second (conversation 16 is one of their best songs IMO, he makes that song sound real frightening).
I'm really looking forward to Interpol's new album.
I've been listening to The Black Keys' Brothers and Rubber Factory continuously for a while now - thinking of picking up Attack and Release as well as Dan Auerbach's solo album this week. The Keys are supposed to be even more amazing live! Their upcoming ACL after party is on a Saturday so I'm hoping to grab tix for that, otherwise I have to buy Kings of Leon tickets to see them open up for the Followills...ugh...the audience at KOL shows....ugh...
Mumford and Sons, eh? I'll check 'em out.
Beach House, Vampire Weekend, and The National all delivered the goods.
So I took a listen and Mumford and Sons, having not read or heard anything about them, immediately reminded me of the Fleet Foxes - a Fleet Foxes that isn't afraid to rock a bit harder. Good stuff.
AND I SNAGGED MY THE BLACK KEYS TICKET!!!
To top that off, I just realized I'm seeing LCD Soundsystem the night before in Houston. That's some weekend!
