- Wooden Arms, Patrik Watson, Wooden Arms
- Harm, Loney Dear, Dear John
- Bellwether, Joe Henry, Blood From Stars
- Canvas, Imogen Heap, Ellipse

You could probably find most of this on myspace, last.fm, or MOG but I may also put together a recording to share. Look in the comments in the future. For the record, Joe Henry, Four Tet, The Album Leaf, and Peter Gabriel are all playing in Los Angeles in the near future.
