@ texture eXquire's new Mixtape - the delightfully titled Merry Xmas and Suck My Dick is in heavy rotation for me. The second mixtape kinda proves I dig him coz I probably loved the first one so much because of the El-P beats. @ Mercer Finn - I keep meaning to check out XXX, thanks for reminding me.
Also getting heavy plays for me: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo soundrack by Reznor and Ross, some Black Francis, the Jay-Z and Kanye album that I only just heard, the Clams Casino instrumental mixtape, the last dEUS album and some Japanese indie from Siamese Cats / Siam Cats.
@ Morac My friend gave me Bastion with the soundtrack for Christmas. Just started playing and I have to say that game totally lives up to the hype. I guess he based the decision to give me that on my love of music. It was a good choice I think :).
Have become addicted to Labradford at the moment. Only 11 years after their last album was released. Right on time obviously.
The new Sleigh Bells is going to be a favorite, although nothing to me quite has the fist-pumping anthem feel of "Ring Ring" to it. More subtly constructed. "Comeback Kid" will be the enduring single.
