FYI, my faves this week:

*The Bhagavan Das tracks (the Beastie Boys go Krishna!)
*"Guinea" by Old and New Dreams (features a great piano section in the middle, played by the late Don Cherry)
*"Peng! 33" by Iron & Wine (Iron & Wine play Stereolab!)
*The Jaga Jazzist track (I've been wanting to play something off the new Jaga Jazzist CD for quite some time but I didn't manage to do so until today).
