Last week was the final triumph of quality over quantity. Well done.
My rec: indie rock by a friend of mine, full album here. The Forest and the Fire.
Also, Billy Bragg's beautiful You Woke Up My Neighborhood, off of Don't Try This At Home (which included Michael Stipe, among others).
EDIT: could someone add 'weeklymusicthread' to the tags? And for even more recs, check out ButterflyEffect's new music blog.
The new Atoms for Peace album came out earlier this week and I've been listening to that all week. Pretty enjoyable album.
New Beach Fossils album. Pretty solid album I think.
Some Adebisi Shank cause they're fun as hell.
And new Iceage.
