Peace Bisquit's Hi-Five: Special I Love Bush Edition

Her first in 12 years. The voice. The piano. An epic double album (A Sea Of Honey, A Sky Of Honey) emotional soundscape. Gorgeous and unhurried. Exquisite production. And yes, it's better than The Red Shoes.

We're all still ash and she's lotion.

Dolly passes the peace pipe with her take on inspired vintage tunes like "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" and "Crimson & Clover." Martin's not only looking good these days but sounding it too; he delivers a solid set of pop tunes with a variety of worldly, hip grinding influences.

Esther wisely secures a helping hand with a genius "Gimme" loop courtesy of Frida, Agnetha, Benny, and Bjorn to usher in her new Confessions... disc. Resident soulstress Stone rides a rhythm of the Womack & Womack classic "Baby I'm Scared Of You." Kittin & Hacker keep flogging the horse with yet another remix that manages to revive this electroclash classic.

4. The Young and the Guest List - PARADISE BOYS (5 points)

5. The Understanding - ROYKSOPP (Astralwerks)

Recent faves Colder harken back to the days of PiL, Joy Division, and Suicide with a stylized and slick NYC post disco twist. Smart and hooky with potent delivery, sinewy production, and tight arrangements. Definitely meant to be played loud. Van Helden silences naysayers and delivers a juicy dance-crunk-rock party-starter classic on import. You simply can't go wrong with 4/4 beats and guitars. Lil Annie's Norweigian electro pop nugget is this month's candy-coated guilty pleasure. It's the pop record you'll hate to love. Chewing gum for your ears, so to speak – echoing vintage Madonna and Tom Tom Club. RSVP, the Frisco-based Boys, come out swinging with an infectious and rebellious indie disco punk electro deli tray that rules! Pet shop, you don't stop. Royksopp sharpen their songwriting and production with a psychedelic and atmospheric jaunt through their paisley park. Moody, robotic soul at its best.

Our good buddies Yerba unleash an incredibly festive summer soundtrack for "urbanistic" living. The vibrancy of Kid Creole with a Latino twist shines on their sophomore disc featuring eclectic guests like Joe Bataan, John Leguizamo, Orishas, Rossy dePalma, Gogol Bordello, and Fulanito. LA's bright newcomer James whips out a fiery collection of "back porch soul" in the tradition of the greats like Gladys and Aretha with contemporary leanings courtesy of producers like Kanye West and Raphael Saadiq. The 21-year-old Oakland R&B songstress Cole is being tagged "Baby Blige" for her noteworthy debut, which is an earnest and emotional diary of young love. N'degeocello's side group project is a nearly all-instrumental free-form jazz, funk, and spiritual groove exploration inspired by the likes of Coltrane, Davis, Simone, and Hancock.

No one sings like Donna. The dance diva returns to form with a blissfully infectious, "Kylie-esque" ditty that's sure to find support from clubs and radio alike. Her best in eons, exclusively on iTunes. Love him or hate him, the UK funkster and crew preview their Dynamite album with a decidedly bombastic and grimy groove of a rock tune that pulls no punches. DJ Danny S propels a crunchy electro sexy house winner that has been tapped as the theme to Europe's "Isle Of MTV" campaign. The British/Australian Rockers duo offer up crunchy electronic rock and soul. Think ZZ Top meets Peaches or LCD with a Basement Jaxx kick. Hands in the air! Ms Watley returns with a reworking of her seminal Grammy-winning solo hit. Already a Top-10 club hit, the classic is refashioned for today's dancefloors in a variety of mixes. She's never sounded better. Available exclusively on iTunes and other digital download services mid-month. And yes, it's our label!

Hasta la vista, baby.

4. Live At The Fillmore - LUCINDA WILLIAMS (Lost Highway)

5. Back To Me - KATHLEEN EDWARDS (Zoe/Rounder)

Torch and 'tang: Wright's sultry sophomore disc comforts with sparse originals and covers (Joe Henry, Neil Young). Imagine a cross of Norah Jones and Cassandra Wilson; Personal fave Lynne keeps it close to the bone and down home like 'ice tea and cornbread'; Loved Yoakam's single, digging his album even more. Nobody does unfiltered, lovelorn and worn country with more reverence, passion AND humor; Williams unleashes a gorgeous two-disc live set that certifies her right to be called a treasure; Canadian export Edwards latest is a grower. She manages to tell poignant and incisive stories with bite and unfettered emotion.

MOST HONORABLE MENTION:

Rock Swings - PAUL ANKA (Centaurus/Verve)
Anka celebrates his 47th (!) year in the biz with a exquisite swing album of rock/pop covers. Who knew that highlights such as "Smells Like Teen Spirit," "It's A Sin," "Eyes Without A Face," "Wonderwall," "Jump," or "Everybody Hurts" could be interpreted with such stellar big band arrangements and old-school panache? Anka did – and delivers one of the year's most surprising and rewarding releases.

4. "Shot You Down" - AUDIO BULLYS featuring NANCY SINATRA (EMI UK)

5. La Tutura (Artista Invitado Alejandro Sanz) - VIDEO - SHAKIRA

Best known for performing the Sopranos theme song, these Alabama boys whip up some more dark irony in the guise of an homage to Cash; Black Rebel – another fave UK export carrying the Jesus & Mary Chain banner – gets their surf stomp on with a gritty twist; Simpson struts her Daisy Dukes in this guilty pleasure Sinatra reworking. Willie Nelson tags along; and Nancy Sinatra's other classic, "My Baby Shot Me Down," gets sampled and trampled by the Bullys into one of the summer's dopest club jams; wasn't crazy about the song until I saw how Ms Shakira could work her ab muscles in this video... I lost count at about 20 ab rolls... ridiculous.

"Mina Loy (M.O.H.)" - BILLY CORGAN (Reprise)

Danish duo re-emerge with a trashy surf-punk ode to groupies and one of my faves this year along with a winning cover of the Angels '63 hit; Munich label owners Mathias Modica and Jonas Imbery let loose their very own party starter with a hot remix that features LCD Soundsystem's Murphy and Nancy Whang spewing – totally wicked, mate!; Yoakam's roots-based jukebox country is still as potent and pure and rockin' as ever; and the melodramatic Corgan serves up a blistering sister of mercy with a gnarly, melodic, and surprisingly catchy preview from his new solo album.

Hell is definitely for children as Ms. Lewis recruits spandex-tight backup to unleash her inner Iggy Benatar; Costa powers through an alphabet of lovers in this crunchy '70s-soaked, rock/funk workout with confidence, range, and stamina; Miami club denizen breaks down those early-AM electro-tribal beats for you: day after day after day after. . .; you've got to believe (in something): Rauhofer refashions the Duran crew for a mid-'90s Sound Factory dancefloor; Meg pumps up the minimal lo-fi jam while Jack axe-grinds and reaches for that falsetto.

Most Honorable Mention: GANG OF 4
To Hell With Poverty 2005 (V2) / Entertainment (reissue) (Rhino)

No sign of any damaged goods here as the 4 old blokes can still mow down any of these kids with their self-described brand of "white sexless funk." Reissue contains live gems like a cover of Velvet's "Sweet Jane." The recent, re-united live tour was truly awe-inspiring. A new album is in the works.
