02. Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise (This record feels really good.)
03. Serena Maneesh - s/t (This is what I've been waiting for.)
04. The Embassy - Tacking (The people must dance! The people must drink!)
05. Stars - Set yourself on fire (What's in the water in Toronto?)
06. The Tough Alliance - The New School (The myth. The legend. The attitude. And you can't handle them!)
07. Broken Social Scene - s/t (See #6)
