Anyone listen to any good new music lately?

I thought this could be a good way to maybe share with others any good new music that you have listened to lately. I downloaded an album off of iTunes recently only because I liked the name of the band. They are called I Set My Friends On Fire and the album is called You Can't Spell Slaughter Without Laughter.

...And You Will Know Us by the Trail Of Dead is the best newer band name ever.

What style of band are they? I only guess they are a band because I don't think any rap group would name themselves that.

What do you consider "newer"? The band is about 15 years old now. I haven't listened to Century of Self yet, but their best album is Source Tags & Codes.

Do you want new music from the last couple weeks, or new music from the last year or so? For example, someone mentioned Vampire Weekend's album, which is good, but it's more than a year old (and the songs themselves are even older than that). I can post a list of my top albums of 2008, if you'd like, and I'm quite sure a lot of it would be unfamiliar to you.

I'm not usually into a 'rapper/dj' thing, but HardNox is pretty awesome.
