Something to Keep You Busy

Unfortunately, I don't really have enough time to go into detail about the following bands, but I wanted to drop some science on you for your aural pleasure.

Leona Lewis Spirit (myspace.com/leonalewis) - I know, she's been around for awhile. Her song is a huge smash in America, but if you haven't checked this album out, you're only doing yourself a disservice. Her voice is amazing, and the songs are all really strong.
Jamie Lidell Jim (myspace.com/jamielidell) - The Redhead is all over this guy. I haven't spent much time with the album yet, but it's so damned funky that I know I'm going to fall in love with it instantly.
Lykke Li Youth Novels (myspace.com/lykkeli) - I was first introduced to Lykke Li through the KEXP Song of the Day Podcast. It's spacey, almost dreamy, and infectious. And for the record, this is how it's pronounced.
The Ting Tings We Started Nothing (myspace.com/thetingtings) - This British dance duo started as a joke. It's a fucking beautiful joke. Shake your ass to "Great DJ," "Shut Up And Let Me Go" and others.
dan le sac VS Scroobius Pip Angels (myspace.com/lesacvspip) - I've mentioned these two before, I reviewed their album here on Midgets!, I'm going to keep pumping them up until Armeggedon. Brit rapper and rock heavy producer team together to make beautiful music. You'll dig it, or you just don't appreciate good music.
Shy Child Noise Won't Stop (myspace.com/shychildmusic) - This NYC duo, drummer and programmer, make some seriously danceable music. It's like Hot Chip if they were from New York.
The Last Shadow Puppets The Age of the Understatement (myspace.com/thelastshadowpuppets) - Featuring Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane of the Rascals get together to make epic songs in a time when minimalism is in.
Atmosphere When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint that Shit Gold (myspace.com/atmosphere) - A more brooding Slug than we're used to, the beats are more down tempo from Ant, too. This is Atmosphere's "dark" album. It comes as no surprise that these two would eventually make a very dark and brooding album, so here it is.

So there you go, eight albums that you should check out. That should keep you busy for a little while, anyway.

As always, let me know what you think of these if you happen to check any of them out.
