In response to "Anything good? I have gotten no new music almost at all since I started rotating. -- nm" by amanda

yes! i got five albums in the Amazon mp3 sale.

My favorite find was three albums by The Avett Brothers, who play what other people are calling "punkgrass", which isn't exactly appropriate, but consider an awesome alt-bluegrass group who obviously enjoy their louder non-country music. Carries the Rick Rubin stamp of approval. I opted for "Four Thieves Gone: The Robbinsville Sessions".

"Odessey and Oracle" by The Zombies, because I shouldn't ignore good 60's pop rock.

"Troubadour" by k'naan is like M.I.A. if M.I.A. was a Somalian dude who is a *way* better rapper than M.I.A.

"Crack the Skye" by Mastodon is like a more southern and Metallica-ish version of The Mars Volta, if the Mars Volta were better and less obnoxious.

"Middle Cyclone" by Neko Case, because, well, because it's Neko Case.

There were a few others that I almost got, but stopped, like "The Crane Wife" by the Decemberists, and the new Kelly Clarkson, and the new Regina Spektor, and so on.
