Comments
eMu
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks...: Finally got around to getting this.
mTraks
Beirut - The Rip Tide: Excellent. Will be in my Top 20 for the year.
Colin Stetson - Those Who Didn't Run: Adds nicely to Judges 2
Das Racist - Relax: Not for everyone, but I love this stuff.
Los Campesinos! - Hello Sadness: Stands up well with their best.
Steven Bernstein's Millennial Territory Orchestra - MTO Plays Sly: Jazzified covers of Sly. Still waiting to hear what our resident Pitchfork thinks of this, but I thoroughly enjoy it.
Twin Sister - Color Your Life: Meh. Rest of the EP not as good as "All Around and Away We Go".
Amazon
Betty Wright and The Roots - Betty Wright: The Movie: Bit of a disappointment, but still good classic R&B.
Drake - Take Care: Good, but not as good as its press.
Dum Dum Girls - Only in Dreams: Better than their debut, which I really liked.
M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming: Really, really good.

A North American folk label must have screwed up the code for their sample player, because with my un-updated version of Firefox I was able to download their entire catalog. No hacking, just directly saving the mp3s from the site. I'm not eager to share the info publicly, but I'll whisper to regular eMusers who are interested.
