I too take part in whining for more Radiohead.

The Decemberists have finished recording too, but I doubt I'll see that until next year to be honest.

I'm looking forward to Mike Gordon's (bassist for Phish) new album Moss. I'm intrigued by the man. He plays in Phish, who delve way into funk music and are, in essence, four white dudes from Vermont playing funk. Odd.

Gordon himself is way into bluegrass, often playing banjo and having bluegrass-sounding tunes on his records. And he's a Jewish guy from Vermont.

Interesting man.

I've really lost touch with music this year more so than any other time in the past. And I never thought I would feel disappointed in a year with new Black Keys and Atmosphere, but so far I have. With that said- new Kid Cudi in a week, new Girl Talk before year's end, and some solid recent finds... Overall the outlook is improving.
