2. WILCO - The Whole Love (LP)
3. MY MORNING JACKET - Circuital (LP)
4. BUFFALO TOM - Skins (LP)
5. RICHARD BUCKNER - Our Blood (LP)

6. RICHMOND FONTAINE - The High Country (CD)

I got the Bon Iver on a whim while at the store based on a review I had read and remembered. It must be an acquired taste, or there is something wrong with my copy.

Notec...thanks for the Richmond Fontaine post. Longtime fan and was not aware of the new album. Another to add on my list!

Richard_stacy - lovely narrative concept album. It's been getting a lot of attention as of late during many late night sessions here in PDX...
