madelen, high on my priority list at the moment are the more laidback chill CDs. I have a copy of the Damien Rice CD, but I need to go buy it now, as the guilt is setting in for enjoying some of the songs on "O" way too much. Also, Kings of Convenience and Sufjan Stevens. Yeah, I know, I'm late on getting around to buying these, but it's about time.
High priority would also be buying "Storytelling" by Belle and Sebastian, because that would complete my collection. Then, I would own EVERY one of their dozen+ full-lengths and EPs.
Also, when Eisley drops their first full-length into stores in the first week of February, I'll be all over that. They start their tour off in Houston on Jan 30th, I believe. For now, I have their 2 EPs. For those of you looking for a cool young band to check out, Eisley is different and great in concert.

Airie,, both excellent bands. I remember XTC for the first time when Sarah McLachlan did a cover of "Dear God" for her rarities album. The New Pornographers came to me by recommendation of James Mercer (lead singer of The Shins). How I love these two bands. Seriously, the New Pornographers and all its related outfits (A.C. Newman, Destroyer, Zumpano) are amazing.
