These albums are either new/newer releases or are just new to me. I've been listening to these albums quite a bit recently and highly recommend Vampire Weekend, it's becoming one of my all time favorites.
Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
The New Pornographers - Challengers
The Fratellis - Costello Music
Fountains of Wayne - Traffic and Weather
Presidents of the United States - These Are the Good Times People
These have all been added to my favorite albums playlist and I have no problem listening to them multiple times. That's a big indication of a good album to me; if I can enjoy the whole thing without getting bored and skipping songs then it is a keeper. If you are adverse to profanity I think track 2, "Oxford Comma", on Vampire Weekend drops the f-bomb a couple times, but everything else above should be pretty clean. Have you discovered any good tunes lately?
Note: I'm becoming a fan of Amazon's MP3 downloads (high quality, DRM-free and well priced) and if you want to buy any of the albums (download or CD) use these links and I'll get a small commission.
