I really hope my co-workers don't mind the new album from The Decemberists. It's currently the #1 album in my office and in my car. 

And as if the music wasn't kickass enough already, the band also had Autumn de Wilde (a totally brilliant photographer) take 2,500 original photos on polaroid packfilm supplied by The Impossible Project and included them in special box sets. Be still my heart.
