I was wondering about this, last few haven't been so good.
Crystal Antlers (from '08) is definitely worth checking out.
Not doctored like Live and Dangerous
From the same tour, songs that didn't make LnD

and:
i've been wondering about both of those albums, especially the zombi joint. i'm thinking about picking up one or both this weekend.
i don't have much to add. i've not picked up much rock stuff so far this year. i picked up the new animal collective album. i have no idea what happens in the middle of it. i zone out every time i listen to it. it needs to lose about 15 minutes.
its a good album as well
listening to this now, pretty cool. I don't hear much folk/drone so far, but one foot in Matador-y '90s indie rock and one foot in the Neu! school of Kraut is a fair description.
I like about 2/3 of the songs on that Animal Collective but agree that it could use some trimming.
I'm definitely looking forward to that one.

Been bumping John Frusciante - The Empyrean. don't like RHCP either, it's just a nice record. Features the one Johnny Marr on a few songs too.

I have actually been impressed with alot of the newer stuff coming out
this year. Lots of good garage-type stuff, as long as you can handle the
derivative nature of neo-garage, which I get the feeling you might not
And guys, Death is not a 2009 rock record.
shows I did recently, as I pulled the info above right from my playlists:

They are a mix of new releases and classic punk/metal/power pop from the 70's to now.
(also, at the beginning of each stream is the last 2-3 minutes of the show before me)
yeah living in the city with Goner Records World HQ puts you off to that stuff REALLY fast
