LE Tigre- This Island
Le Tigre are a feminist Punk/Pop band that was formed by Kathleen Hanna who was formerly a member of the band Bikini Kill, Johanna Fateman. Sadie Benning was the third member for their first cd but was replaced by JD Samson for the following two. This is their most recent album, It was released in 2004. They are currently on hiatus, two of the mebers formed a new project called MEN and the third is currently pursuing things outside of music. They are a really good band for high enegery songs that are fun to sing along to (once you take the time to figure out what she is saying in some of the songs) but if you look a little deeper the lyrics are acually really introspective and politically charged. There are a few week tracks on it (namely the song New Kicks because although it has a good meaning its really kinda boring and not at all catchy.) but the songs TKO, Nanny Nanny Boo Boo, and their cover of I'm So Exited make the whole cd worth it.

Play With Me!!!!!
.
.
.
Lene- Play With Me Lene was the lead female singer of the pop band Aqua. They were most well known for their international hit single "Barbie Girl". They released two albums before disbanding in the early 2000's. In 2003 Lene dropped her first solo album entitled "Play With Me". The album mostly consists of upbeat energetic pop songs with a few ballads thrown in. While it may not have the best lyrics ever invented it is a very fun album that shows a slight style change without losing the energy of her earlier days. The best tracks on the album are probably "Play With Me" (A high energy pure pop song), "Its your Duty" (A slightly ridiculously silly song that is hard not to sing along to), and "Scream" (One of the few ballads on the CD, it just seems very real to me for some reason). Overall this CD is just a fun Album to listen to and it is really good for cheering you up when your down.
Warning: This CD while not overtly explicit does contain several sexually suggestive phrases so if you are really easily offended then don't download it

Konichiwa B*tches
Robyn is a Swedish Singer who debuted in America in 1997. Her first album "Robyn Is Here" made a pretty good impact here. The CD was pretty mainstream R&B/ Pop music and both the singles "Do You Know (What It Takes)" and "Show Me Love" charted at number seven on the U.S. Billboard and "Do You Really Want Me (Show Respect)" charted at 28.
Two years later in 1999 Robyn was back with the even more R&B influenced "My Truth". The album was never released in the U.S. but did moderately well in her native Sweden.
It wouldn't be until 2003 that Robyn would release her third album "Don't Stop The Music". The album was slightly different from the previous one and was much more pop sounding. Similar to my truth it was not Released in the U.S. but charted at number 5 in Sweden.
A year or two after the release of her third CD she parted from her record company because she felt that they were not giving her enough freedom and were trying to marked her as the Swedish Christina Aguilera. Soon after she created her own independent Konichiwa Records. Then come 2005 she dropped her Fourth self titled album. It was a complete change in Robyn's sound, dropping the conventional pop and R&B and adopting a very Electronic/ Experimental sound. The album was an immediate hit in Sweden, becoming her first number one selling CD and garnering much critical acclaim. This inspired her to release the album in different territories. In 2006 she released the five track Rakamonie Ep in the U.K. as a way of re-introducing herself to the territory. This was followed in 2007 by the U.K. release of her "Robyn" album. The song "With Every Heartbeat" became a huge hit and shot straight up the charts to number one.
With this accomplishment Robyn got the inspiration she needed to attempt to reenter the U.S. market. In January of 2008 she re-released the Rakamonie Ep to the United States and then three months later the U.S. version of the "Robyn" album was released. Again the album gained Critical acclaim and became a favorite of club goers everywhere. The album managed to peak at 100 in the top 200 albums charts and spawned the top 5 dance hits "Handle Me" and "With Every Heartbeat" and the number seven charting Dance hit "Cobrastyle".
In early 2009 the acoustic 3 trackEp the Cherrytree sessions was released and Robyn announced plans for a new album to come in late 2009. She is a really amazing artist and every CD is really good in its own way so i would take your time to download every one of them and then go out and buy them.

Lily Allen- It's Not Me, It's You
Lily Allen is a British singer who erupted onto the scene in 2006 with her megahit album Alright, Still. This is her sophomore cd and its a far cry from her ska influenced debut. It's Not Me, It's You features all the songwriting brilliance of her first cd (Though it is obvious that she has matured at least a little) with just the perfect amount of electronic lacings. The best songs are The Fear (A synthy mid-tempo song that discusses the pitfalls of fame), Back To The Start (A really fast pace song and possibly the most heartfelt songs she's ever written), and F**K You (a telling off to the close minded). I added on a few Acoustic tracks, the two Japanese bonus tracks, and the Promo Sampler Megamix. This may be an early contender for album of the year and you should defiantly give it a listen.

Nina Gordon
Nina Gordon- Tonight and the Rest of My Life
Nina gordon is possibly best known as the co-founder of the American alternative rock band "Veruca Salt". She left the band in 1998 and soon after began the working stages of her first solo album. Tonight and the Rest of My Life was released in 2000 to generally favorable reveiws. The album was a huge departure from her Alt-Rock roots and embraced a more mainstreem adult contemporary feel. Its honestly a really good album and is surprisingly diverse. The best song on it is without a doubt the title track, an emotionally driven power-ballad that just gives me chills when i listen to it. Really the whole thing is worth a listen.

Nina Gordon- Bleeding Heart Graffiti
Bleeding Heart Graffiti is the second album by Rock singer Nina Gordon. Released six years after her solo debut the album is composed of mostly reworkings from her unreleased 2003 cd Even the Sunbeams. Its an amazing continuation of her first album and shows a lot of growth as a songwriter. My Favorite song is Suffragette.

Friday The 13th Is Awsome
Hey Everyone,
Here are two more cd's that i have been listening to lately
Jay Brannan - Goddamned
Jay is a New York based Singer/Songwriter who released his Debut cd, Goddamned, this year. I personally think that he sounds a lot like Tracy Chapman. This is an explicit cd and he says the "F Word" a lot so if you are looking for something clean then this is not for you. Also he is gay and he doesn't hide it in his lyrics (songs like Housewife and Half Boyfriend) so if that really bugs you then don't download it, simple as that.
My favorite songs on the cd have to be American Idol (a sarcastic narrative of someone who's life isn't exactly perfect and is tired of seeing the people on American Idol making it look so easy to make it), Housewife (His views on the perfect relationship), and Goddamned (His questioning of religion and life)
Tracklist
1. Can't Have It All 5/5
2. Half Boyfriend 5/5
3. American Idol 5/5
4. Death Waltz 4/5
5. At First Sight 5/5
6. Housewife 5/5
7. Goddamned 5/5
8. Home 4/5
9. Bowlegged And Starving 4/5
10. On All Fours 5/5
11. String-A-Long Song 3/5
Link: http://www.4shared.com/file/85793940/b93ab5cb/Jay_Brannan_Goddamned.html
The Fray
They are a really cool sort of mix of rock and piano driven pop. You probably know their songs "How To Save A Life", "Cable Car", and their newest single "You Found Me". I haven't really had time to listen to this all the way through yet but the stuff i have heard is pretty good. You Found Me is one of the best songs so far this year in my opinion and I'm sure once
I've got a chance to listen to it all I will fall as much in love with it as i did their first one.
Track List:
1. Syndicate (3:30)
2. Absolute (3:47)
3. You Found Me (4:01) 5/5
4. Say When (5:01)
5. Never Say Never (4:16)
6. Where The Story Ends (3:57)
7. Enough For Now (4:14)
8. Ungodly Hour (5:04)
9. We Build Then We Break (3:48)
10. Happiness (5:22)

Hope you enjoy them :)
