Music I didn’t necessarily expect to like

The Kaiser Chiefs, “I Predict a Riot” (and it’s free on iTunes!)
Solomon Burke, “Make Do With What You Got“. I’ve always loved Motown and soul, and apparently Burke (whom I’ve never heard of) is an old-school Motown singer who’s, well, not mounting a comeback, because he never really left. Great stuff, with an expressive growl, a hot horn section, and more Hammond B3 than you can shake a stick at.
Too much stuff to list from Amazon’s free MP3 downloads section (including Kid Loco and Yo La Tengo)
