I hear Bon Iver on the radio today, and have recently been introduced (about 3 times) and really liked (each time) Kings of Leon. Vampire Weekend is on my ipod constantly, TV on the Radio has come up frequently, and Fleet Foxes, though not a consistent favorite, has been on my Kate Nash Pandora station with astonishing regularity. I've been on a Spoon and Wilco kick of late, tempered with a ton of KT Tunstall, Sara Bareille, and Kate Nash. Jem and Feist are showing up as well. Spring Awakening, Reefer Madness, and Thirteen have been the musical soundtracks of the year. But of course, none of these are new this year, I don't believe?

There are a lot of new groups here. Or are there...? TV on the Radio, Coldplay, and Portishead have all been around for a while and have even been featured on this very site :) Kings of Leon have been around for years, as well, but I only "discovered" them this year. The Last Shadow Puppets is actually a side project headed by the lead singers of the Arctic Monkeys and the Rascals. But many of these albums are debuts by new artists, many of whom have very interesting stories (see Fleet Foxes, Vampire Weekend, Adele, and particularly Bon Iver). Yeah, good observation.
