For Those Of You Who Resolved To Save Money In 2009: Cheap Albums!


If you enjoy cheap things, Amazon is selling 50 of its best-selling MP3 albums of 2008 for $5 at its digital store. Among the titles: Little Jackie’s The Stoop (which is one of those albums I forgot about by December) and Idolator fave Year Of The Gentleman. Or, you know, the Camp Rock soundtrack. [Amazon]

    Albums on this list that are totally worth $5, especially if you figure that said figure is the cost of a slice and the soda at the ridiculously overrated NYC pizzeria Artichoke:

    Year Of The Gentleman (duh)
    M83, Saturdays = Youth
    Santogold
    Vampire Weekend (yes really) (honestly it’s more ’80s Postcard indiepop than Graceland to me but I guess once you put something in the water, etc)
    TVOTR
    Portishead
    Coldplay, Viva La Vida
    REM, Accelerate

    I might buy the Cut Copy, too, just ’cause I don’t seem to have it.

    I would add:

    Byrne/Eno
    Hold Steady
    Calexico

    if someone is binging on downloads today.

    Another nice one is the self-titled debut from MEIKO - certainly on my fave albums of 08 list
