Au Pairs -- Playing With A Different Sex

  Man this is one helluva way way way underrated album.  These guys presupposed hipster Indie Dance Punk twenty years ahead of it's time.  I can't help but wonder why the Au Pairs aren't more popular and revered. 

Martha And The Vandellas -- Greatest Hits

  Killer Motown comp by Martha and The Vandellas ... when I listen to these song I can't help but wish that life was just like 60's Motown music.

NOFX -- White Trash, Two Heebs And A Bean

  Jesus man I used to worship this album when I was thirteen, now I'm not sure if I could listen to the whole thing without having to turn it off, but at the same time this was NOFX at the height of their creative career, the rest is just of the same ol' ...

M83 -- Saturdays = Youth

 An eclectic mix of Ambient Shoegazed Electronica.  Some of it I can handle and some of it is just too much, but all in all it's interestingly good.

Taj Mahal -- De Ole Folks At Home

  This is part of a double album, one is Giant Step, kinda run of the mill 60's electric Blues album, two De Ole Folks At Home is old timey Folk Blues, almost like the sounds of a poor man sitting on his broken porch living in the deep south, definitely a testament to the roots of American music.

Four Tops -- Greatest Hits

  One of the great Motown hit makers the Four Tops.  Each and every song on this Greatest Hits compilation should have already been embedded in all our minds, unless you were born on Mars.  These guys embody the pumpin' Soul Motown sound!

Interplay For 2 Trumpets And 2 Tenors

  Pretty much a standard Jazz record, no huge surprises, but still good.  The most interesting elements is hearing the "Interplay" between sax players John Coltrane and Bobby Jaspar.  Coltrane takes the lead with his wild improvisations while Jaspar tries to follow suit.  It's easy to tell the tenors apart, even though Jaspar's style and notes are perfect he lacks Coltrane's ferocious velocity.
