I know an albums of the month voted thread has been mooted, and for a while I've wanted to do a monthly thread like this. Essentially it's for posting those few things that blow you away, and sharing little bits that maybe don't justify their own thread. Thought we could give it a go for a few months.

To kick things off, here's my January playlist
http://open.spotify.com/user/seaninsound/playlist/1YBNd0nC16Dt7WmzprSrT8

Bruce Springsteen – High Hopes
Femme – Fever Boy [utterly obsessed with this song]
St. Vincent – Digital Witness
Ed Harcourt – In My Time Of Dust [album released digitally today via my label </jag>]
Broken Bells – Holding On for Life
Thumpers – Unkinder (A Tougher Love)
I Break Horses – Faith
Mogwai – San Pedro [place-holder track until the new album appears]
Crosses (†††) – The Epilogue [Chino from Deftones side-project, having heard it a lot over the break, this is definitely an early LP of the year contender]
Temples – Mesmerise
Metronomy – I'm Aquarius
East India Youth – DRIPPING DOWN
Warpaint – Love Is to Die
Marissa Nadler – Half as Much [place holder - can't wait to hear July, that's out next month]
