In 5 days I'm getting paid a proper wage for the first time in about a year. I'd definitely like to use a part of this to buy some new music.
What albums, preferably ones released in the last 12 months, would you recommend I buy?
See my ratings for inspiration if you want :)
Thank you x

Populuxxe
By Cutting Pink With Knives. It's got to be good.
Yes
I'll probably get this :)
I wouldn't bother
heard it yesterday and was underwhelmed to say the least. They would probably be great live, but on record they're pretty irksome. How about Marnie Stern, No Age or Pre?
i got
oh wow the other day. is populuxxe as good/better/worth getting?
populuxxe is definitely worth getting.
It's better than the first album, much more variety and more pop/electro parts.

Big Business - Here Come The Waterworks
It's album of the year, honest.
Plus you are making the face of a man who would enjoy Big Business in your profile pic.
definitely Of Montreal
it's now in my top albums ever ever list.
haha
of montreal are my third most-listened to artist on last fm, and that's ALL from listening to Hissing Fauna...
Sound of Silver is great, and:
Panda Bear - Person Pitch
Fireworks Night - As Fools We Are
^ it is exceptional ^
I've heard it a few times now
and I'm loving it.
The National
Of Montreal
I notice..
.. you have listed Rival Schools in your albums on Myspace, if you like that try First Excommunications by Canadian outfit Elizabeth, its a bit like Editors/Interpol I supoose but its ace.
Other than that DARTZ/Kubichek/Biffy Clyro were all spiffing.
thsat's pretty varied taste there commandercool
try "Thugs" by Desperado, great reviews in Kerrang & RockSound and also at Rock midgets, subba-cultcha etc - it's a good album that benefits from repeat listens
or how about homegrown Leeds talent "baby machine" by This Et Al ?
My albums of the year
are probably (in this order)...
Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna...
Panda Bear - Person Pitch
Handsome Furs - Plague Park
The Shins - Wincing The Night Away
The National - Boxer
So I recommend all those, and then some dead recent releases that I've not had full time to 'absorb' yet are...
Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
Kevin Drew - Spirit If
Future Of The Left - Curses
