1. Human - The Killers

If the measure of a band is thier live performances, the Killers knocked this one out of the park on SNL.
2. Sleepyhead - Passion Pit

Given all the repetition, my standards for electronica are very high. This one has been allowed into the fold.
3. Summer Grof - The Spinto Band

Sadly, this is one of the few standouts for me from the long awaited "Moonwink".
4. Tonight - Lykke Li

If you're looking for a pretty solid TAE (total album experience) this month, this is my pick. 

5. Everything Is Borrowed - The Streets

Still a unique voice in hip hop, this band may be coming to a close soon. 

6. You Don't Know Me (featuring Regina Spektor) - Ben Folds

I desperately sought out an edited version of this otherwise great song. Does anyone else see the incongruity between beautiful music and "f***"?

Bonus Track: Please seek out the Gears of War 2 "Last Days" trailer here for Devotchka's "How It Ends".
