THREAD RESURECTION! (is it Easter yet?)
I've got a few "must haves" added to my list recently. Sadly, some haven't been released yet.
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Fantastic old-school jazzy and soulful music from a very young Brit performer. She also has another first album out that I may need to pic up. The tune "I'm No Good" is incredibly fun. She reminds me of Shirley Bassy.
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
I haven't heard much from their forthcoming release but I am looking forward to this none the less.
Forro in the Dark - Bonfires of São João (already released)
Fun, experimental Brazlian inspired trio who somehow has gotten David Byrne, Bebel Gilberto and Miho Hatori to guest on songs for their first album. The Byrne song alone is enough for me to buy it.
Fugiya & Miyagi - Transparentthings
Not Japanese but more Brits. The song Photocopier got my attention (I think they use the riff from Life During Wartime) but the other things I've heard intrigue me.
