I think the only one I've actually bought since the beginning of December is the last Leona Naess CD that I've recently talked a little about. Kind of fell in love with her after seeing her close out the Letterman show with the Ballerina song from this CD. Completely mesmerizing and totally adorable. I picked it up at Best Buy for under $10 and can't say I'm totally satisfied, but it really is a good album and I'm liking it more and more with each listen. Maybe it sometimes ventures a little closer to the sound of someone like KD Lang than I normally like to go, but that's OK.....she's got some Tori Amos sensibility mixed in to keep it interesting. Call it 3.5/5 and rising.

But if I were to ignore the "buy" stipulation in your post, I'd go with the latest from The Moonbabies that I've been raving about. The Orange Billboard. Haven't bought a real copy yet, but will before too much longer. That one would be a solid 4.5/5 for me. Love it.
