The newest Flaming Lips album is good (Yoshimi is better though), and the newest Neko Case album is good as well (Blacklisted is better though).
Good suggestions--the last New Pornographers is really good, too.

The new White Stripes album is their best yet, and they really demonstrate their talent and versatility (well, Jack does; Meg continues to demonstrate her mediocrity).
Ha, yeah--worst drummer ever.
