2. Living Thing
3. Here Comes Science (especially the videos)

5. Bitte Orca

I am going to let the music speak for iteself, save two comments:

1. Not many people are familiar with the young Neo-Jazz musical wonder that is Melody Gardot, but she brings a such a refined level pure talent that's worth listening to. 
2. Here Come Science is more than a children's album. Well, okay, I may only like it because it has geeky sciencey references that I get and find hilarious, but I think its just the knees of bees (or the coops of mustards)

Please comment with:

"guys what the fuck. you forgot [this band i really like], and the glaring omission of [this other band that i really like that i try to get all my friends into] is outright inexcusable. don't even get me started on the absence of [this other band i really like that no one else knows and make me sound elite]"
