Attention! - Los Campesinos!

who: Los Campesinos!
why: because they're from the U.K. and say things like "fanks" when they mean "thanks"... No, in all seriousness these guys have taken over my ears lately. I just can't get enough.

If you watch/listen to the video/song below and aren't impressed, give the album a few listens anyway, it's a grower fashower. I had the same "ehh... whatever" impressions when I first checked them out a while back - didn't really get the interest - but I'm all over it now.

You're lookin at a new #1 for 2010.

Attention! - Titus Andronicus

who: Titus Andronicus

why: because they've been around since 2005, but they're new to me. I've just run through my first listen of this year's release 'The Monitor', and I can already tell it's going to grow on me. Think Desaparecidos meets Japandroids meets Silversun Pickups... or something like that. This album, inspired by the puzzling combination of the Civil War and a broken heart, is already on its way to making a run for album of the year in my book.

tf: absolutely.

Premature Infatuation - B.o.B.

who: B.o.B. ft. Hayley Williams (Paramore)

why: because she went hip-hop, and I kinda like it. Anyone else? B.o.B's album 'B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray' drops April 27th.

B.o.B - Airplanes ft. Hayley Williams of Paramore [Explicit] by Atlantic Records
