Alright, so I've not topped up my iPod in 5 months and am though I did download a lot of advance albums so I know what to buy when I get home (most of which have now been released), I need to have some good new music to plunk on my iPod while I'm at my cousins. Critera...
One: Only one album (they have dialup!).
Two: The WHOLE album should be great, front to back (they have dialup!)
Three: I already have Honeycomb (and the new Franz and New Pornos).
Four: Hopefully not a huge double album or anthology. Preferably a new band's debut unless there's been a terrific followup worthy of listen about anything else in the last 5 months (Decemberists' Picaresque, for example).
Five: It should've come out from May to the future.
So if anyone has suggestions, I'm open to them. Please!

i really enjoy a band called THE KING OF FRANCE who's s/t record (they have another one, but its just the singer/guitarist solo) i believe just hit iTunes. take a listen to some tracks before buying/downloading though, as i don't want to waste your ten dollars.

Eugh, the Subways are so very bad.
I guess you've already got the Futureheads album? I heard it on tour and thought it was pretty spiffy. One of the few bands the UK music press champion who actually have any substance.

Checking some out at iTunes as much as is possible on dialup, thanks.

And yeah, have the Futureheads album, t-shirt, and also saw them live in Saskatoon before I left, thanks though Doog, I really DO enjoy them a lot (as you may have guessed). Others? :)

i really like wolf parade's "apologies to the queen mary". and if you have access to soulseek i can put the new round of cdswapmix#5 on there for you. or then again i just realized that you can get them from the ftp.

I'd suggest the new Broken Social Scene. I actually think it surpasses You Forgot it in People. It still hasn't been released, I'm pretty sure its dropping either October 4th or 11th.

You have Bloc Party? They're one of the better bands out this year.

Yup, got Bloc Party. I actually found some new tracks on Soulseek, but it's too slow here and I seem to get cancelled d/l ing via Soulseek. Didn't know there was a new BSS, but could definitely be persuaded into checking it out. We went all the way to Edmonton to see them once upon a time. Doog, the new EP will have to wait until I get back but I will check it when I get back, you have my word. Wolf Parade I've heard before and they were so-so at best, but I said the same thing about the Decemberists and love their latest so...

You could try 'Everything Ecstatic' by Four Tet if you like a bit of electronic craziness, that's a good'un, or 'Repulsion Box' by Sons & Daughters, which is kind of dancey, kind of indie, pretty good.
Other than that, there are more obvious recommendations such as 'I Am A Bird Now' by Anthony & The Johnsons, or the latest Low album, 'The Great Destroyer', which you should really already have, it being amazing and all.

why not jump onto the cd swap #5 mix and download whatever's there at the moment.
might be something good for ya there, and seeing as it comes from fellow fb.netters, you know it must be good.

Could be a good idea... so many suggestions so little time. Maybe I'll go to a cafe and bring an empty CD or something...

I seriously suggest:
Damian Rice 'O' - Soundtrack to your depressed love life, yet excellent for lovers. Excellent songwriting, acoustic guitar, blah.

| I heard the track "Not About Love" from the bootlegged new Fiona Apple, and it was excellent. But suggesting Fiona Apple is extremely risky territory. |

If you're going to purchase Sufjan Stevens and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah @ $1 a song, you'll need to weed out the fillers.
I mean, Sufjan has a track of "ooohs" & "ahhhs"
also several tracks of skip-forward xylophones tunes.
Again, ClapYHSY has 4-5 "songs" that are hardly worth the money.

Good to know, Cap (Kirk), thanks for the heads up on the Clap. Also Ice Cream. And Jose. And Mike. And everyone. I have Ram (Sir Paul) on my iPod but somehow keep missing it when I look for something to listen to. I don't know why. Don't have Sufjan Stevens at all, but I met a girl a few months ago who was really into it and what I heard I liked, just forgot until now (thanks for the reminder).
I think I'm actually going to go to an inet cafe and get a cd full of music to try out. Thanks to that reminder of that girl's music, I also wanted to check out Snow Patrol and there are so many good suggestions here. Ack!

Snow Patrol aren't worth the time.
Also worth noting:
The Rosebuds - Birds Make Good Neighbours
Cass McCombs - Prefection (though this is cheating, it came out in February I think)
