not going to update that because it will turn too big, so I'll just post the outstanding ones
the new Earth is fantastic.. slow drone (pretty catchy actually) with lots of stoner and ambient thrown in
Mogwai released a great album again.. it's slightly generic in parts, but just as consistent as all of their stuff
my favourite discovery so far is Joyce Manor with their self-titled debut.. it's catchy, poppy punk with great melodies and sing-alongs.. vocalist sounds like Tom Gabel from Against Me! sometimes
favourite albums so far(ranked):
James Blake: James Blake
Amplifier: The Octopus
Earth: Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light
Joyce Manor: Joyce Manor
Destroyer: Kaputt
Mogwai: Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will

God yes.
Beyond Earth, I'm not interested in anything I've listened to for the past few days.
Also, that post about Cake made me want to give them a little speck of hope left in my eye about them. I want to shoot myself even more now. It's worse than their 2004 album, if that's even possible.
Cake, farewell. You had your chance and you missed it. D:<

Watch The Throne versus new Madvillainy. That'll be a good fight.
VS apparently two new rae albums. Hope they're more OB4CL2 than Immobilarity.
Wow that was actually really enjoyable. My favorite of 2010 so far.
Ughh please keep recommending more stuff. I'm loving everything you've been suggesting so far.
Technically the album came out at the tail end of last year, but The Hollow Glow's debut has been featured on the iTunes homepage for a couple of weeks in a row now. Featuring guitarist Ben Carroll of Ra, here is a link to one of their singles:

Check it out and see what you think. I was a huge fan of Ra so I will probably be very into The Hollow Glow as well.

James Blake is getting pretty big currently, saw him a few weeks ago live and fell in love. Very much looking forward to The Strokes release in March, IIRC. Julian described it as the album that should have come between Room on Fire and First Impressions the other day, which is good news, I guess.
Of these, Dye It Blonde and Kaputt are the best. James Blake is still growing.
I REALLY hope The Strokes don't ruin this one. If they're going backwards more power to them. This is basically their timeline.
(Is This It?) Amazing > (Room On Fire) Great > First Impressions of Earth (Horrible)
I'm only gonna assume this means "in between" Room on Fire and First Impressions means they can't ruin it too bad.
Or maybe it'll open up our perspective on First Impressions, which I'd argue was not horrible.
But then again I'd argue that Room On Fire was definitely not great.

First Impressions is hardly horrible. Ize of the World and You Only Live Once are two of the best songs they've ever put out. Ask Me Anything, Killing Lies, Fear of Sleep and 15 Minutes are pretty poor, but the rest of the album ranges from decent to great, and overall, whilst it isn't as good as their first two efforts (especially their first), I don't think it's a horrible album by any means. Of course, everybody's entitled to their opnions, just saying, I feel it can get quite a bad rap from some people, maybe a little moreso than it deserves.
Also, I'm sure it's been discussed to death, but I finally got 'round to listening to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy the other day and I just haven't been able to stop listening to it since. Absolutely superb album, I tip my hat off to Mr. West for producing the best album of 2010.

Even after the let down that was Stadium Arcadium i am still very excited for the Chili Pepper's new album.
Foo Fighters,Queens of the Stone Age and the Artic Monkeys also interest me.
