DJ popscum, WLUW-FM
1) Franz Ferdinand – s/t (Domino)
Hype: deserved!
2) UV Turks/Serial P.O.P. – Angst Against Crisis (Good Science, serialpop.com)
Criminally, brilliantly accessible. I list this for 2004 because seemingly no one but WLUW and the band has been able to get their hands on it and I have no idea when or if it will get a proper release. Why the British music media haven't picked up on these guys baffles me.
3) The Arcade Fire – Funeral (Merge)
4) Interpol – Antics (Matador)
5) The Ponys – Laced with Romance (In the Red)
6) Air – Talkie Walkie (Astralwerks)
7) Dizzee Rascal – Boy in da Corner (Matador)
8) The Fall – The Real New Fall lp (Narnack)
9) Hangar 18 – Multi-Platinum Debut Album (Definitive Jux)
10) The Futureheads – s/t (Sire)
Honarable Mentions
