Recently got the new Passion Pit album as well as the Imagine Dragons album. Both pretty good, but nothing crazy (and both sorta the mainstream alternative that's popular these days).
@hornsup: New Passion Pit album!? Jeez how did I miss that. I was playing "Manners" non stop a few months before the new album was released so I haven't been listening to them much recently. Time to go check it out!
Like most people, I don't care for Kanye West's personality. That said, I won't deny he has made some great songs.
The video (directed by Spike Jonze and Kanye West) is a bit dark and wicked, which I think pairs great with the song. Not to mention, I think it is one of the best rap instrumentals of the past decade or more.
Makes two of us. I cannot stop listening to that song (and the album as a whole).

I feel the same way, I didn't even listen to My Dark Twisted Fantasy until last month because he's so insufferable. Hate to say it but goddamn is that a good CD.
That said, currently listening to Jay-Z "Diamond is Forever". Seeing him next month in Brooklyn, so I'm pretty pumped.
iTunes Festival is pretty fantastic, in my opinion.
Several great artists and bands are part of this year's including Ellie Goulding, The Killers, Mumford & Sons, Muse, Alicia Keys, Ed Sheeran, Lana Del Rey, and many more.

@Shift -- yeah, it snuck up on me too. I think it came out in July and I hadn't heard much about it. The reason I actually found out about it was that Doritos Taco Taco Bell commercial with the various photos of the tacos... I thought the song was good and thought it sounded like PP... Shazamed it and turns out that song is on the album.
