since I haven't bought any albums in six months, literally...

any suggestions for some must haves from the past year that I can catch up with?

my taste is pretty broad so its not genre specific. Only real requirement is that it not be a risky buy.. one of those love or hate albums. Can't afford to blow cash on something I might really dislike.

the Women LP and the new David Grubbs.
I also loved Aucan and Foals; but you should just check out the numerous top 100 that were posted on here.

ok, um...

Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III
Deerhunter - Micro Castle
T.I. - Papertrail
Portishead - Third
Cat Power - Jukebox

that's half of my Top Ten of 2008, but the other half I'd consider slightly riskier.

I'd go with Kremer plays Piazolla or Tiomani Diabate's Monde Variations [spelling is all over the show in this post].

Flying Lotus-Los Angeles
Boris-Smile
Portishead-Third, maybe, but if you're only getting five then maybe not
That Sigur Ros one with the ridiculous name
Teenage Panzerkorps-Games For Slaves
Jenny Lewis-Acid Tongue (I would normally recommend this to anyone--my favorite of the year--except here, where tastes are very different. Only if you like vocal-central folk. I'd listen first.)
