I am clearly on a crusade to own every record label compilation ever released. Ever.

By M83? I would say pretty much each of the last three or four songs -- they all sounded like epic album-enders (but weren't! well, except for the actual last one).

Steely Dan: Two Against Nature
Prince and the N.P.G.: Diamonds and Pearls
Todo Tango [compilation]
N*E*R*D: In Search of. . .

Also received the Adolescent's Orquesta's Disco de Oro that I've been waiting for. I recognize the first four songs, though I hadn't known they were by this band. There are some good songs here, but I think I'd like to hear another band covering them. There are some unnecessary and annoying bombastic/tinkly synthesizer introductions. Supposedly their most album really cooks and they sound grown-up on it. But this collection is like: four good song, marred by bad intros, but still enjoyable to me if I'm feeling generous; a middle section of songs that are just too schmaltzy; and a few songs at the end that have lost the annoying intros and have a harder edge, but are perhaps less distinctive than the first four. (Of course, I may only like them because I have had time to hear and dance to them while out in clubs.)

Waiting for (from Amazon);
In The Airplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
Folk Songs... - Savath & Savalas
Dialogue - Four Tet

Getting tomorrow (new releases);
British Sea Power
Audio Bullys
Gillian Welch

And a disc of chamber music performed by Australia's Elision Ensemble, which I grabbed because it includes a piece by the consistently fascinating Chris Dench.

Joe Jackson Band - I'm the Man
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Lou Reed - Street Hassle
the Chills - Kaleidoscope World

new:
the Hidden Cameras - the Smell of our own

...also the import DVD of Twenty Four Hour Party People, rah!

Flowers of Romance, P.I.L.
The Best of ELO - which, miraculously, means in this case: nearly all of the first album, about a third of the second, and a coupla 'early versions' of certain tracks (of "showdown" and "ma ma belle"); darn, those Roy Wood songs sound much better than i remembered.

(and somehow i manages to left behind OMD's Dazzle Ships ...must go back to that li'l shop some day, probbly)
