Volume Two (She & Him)

I already wrote about this album when it first came out and thought it was totally worth the $10 it cost do buy it on iTunes. For only $5 you have no excuse not to enjoy Zooey Deschanel’s beautiful voice.

Interpreting The Masters Volume 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall & John Oates (The Bird & The Bee)

A great collection of covers of songs such as Sara Smile, Kiss On My List and Maneater. The Bird & The Bee add their signature touch and unique twist to these songs

Inside In / Inside Out (The Kooks)

A fine mix of fifteen power pop tracks performed with energy and joy. This album, chosen as the eleventh best album of 2006 by “Q” magazine, is an all around winner for pop-rock lovers. I especially like ‘Ooh La’

Bomb In A Birdcage (A Fine Frenzy)

You just can’t go wrong with this album by A Fine Frenzy. I featured the song ‘Electric Twist’ in my Seattle Monday Mixtape a couple of weeks ago. Alison Sudol continues to produce amazing music for her fans to enjoy.

Kill The Moonlight (Spoon)

I first heard of the band of Austin indie rockers when they performed on “Austin City Limits” with Ben Kweller. This album was listed as one of Rolling Stone magazine’s Top 50 Records of the Year.

Shaka Rock (JET)

Yet another solid release from the English band known for their upbeat rock with catchy, toe-tapping rhythms that you’ll find yourself singing all day
