Beirut - The Flying Club Cup (2007)

Fantastic album. Condon's obsession with Paris really shines in this thing here. Really digging his whole Classical-pop influence. Plus, Condon's got an amazing voice.

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago (2007)

Was sort of surprised that I missed out on this since everyone I know has been talking about Bon Iver forever. Plus, this heartfelt, solo acoustic sound is usually right up my alley.

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (2002)

I'll be honest, before this I haven't listened to The Flaming Lips before (I know, heresy). I figured it was about time I educate myself, so I decided to pick this album up, mainly because I had prior knowledge of Fight Test.
