1.\tB.B. King, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153When Love Comes To Town\u00e2\u20ac\u009d: Gotta love the King.
\n2.\tIron & Wine, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Teeth In The Grass\u00e2\u20ac\u009d: Iron and Wine is an excellent alt-folk group and this is one their most likable and vaguely menacing.
\n3.\tSmashing Pumpkins , \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We Only Come Out At Night\u00e2\u20ac\u009d: Simple, but incredibly catchy tune for alienated youth.
\n4.\tNeko Case, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153In California\u00e2\u20ac\u009d: Glorious melancholia from one of my favorite alternative country singers.
\n5.\tJurassic 5, “Red Hot”: Jurassic 5 is a great hip-hop group, though this is not one of their best. It took me far too long (late last year) to catch-on to them.
\n6.\tRobert Plant & Alison Krauss, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Fortune Teller\u00e2\u20ac\u009d: This is a decent collaboration, though in some ways it doesn’t totally gel for me.
\n7.\tSage Francis \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Got up This Morning\u00e2\u20ac\u009d: Funny song, but Sage has deeper rhymes.
\n8.\tThe White Stripes , \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Now Mary\u00e2\u20ac\u009d: Good tune with the reliable spare allure of the White Stripes.
\n9.\tM.I.A. \/ Diplo, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bucky Done Gun\u00e2\u20ac\u009d: A good sample of the MIA\/Diplo grimy Funk Carioca sound. Like J5, a recent (and welcome!) addition to my music library.
\n10.\tCharlie Parker, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dizzy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d: Classic bird. Beboppin’!
