Letters Have No Arms is grateful for...

 The Format's Sam Means and Nate Ruess still continuing to make music individually
fun. -  At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used to Be)
Sam Means - Yeah Yeah

 Covers of songs we love that pay tribute to the original rather than extracting its guts with a polished spoon and eating them raw
Little My - New Slang (The Shins cover)

 Bubbly Spanish songs so cute you want to stick a pen in your eye

Queta & Teo - Es Cucu de L'Avi

Jóvenes Y Sexys - Amor Platonico

Papa Topo - Oso Panda

 Bands still making songs interesting enough to only "get" after repeated listens
Papa Vs Pretty - Arrestem
Sister Suvi - Deadwood

 Finding this line in a song: 
 "I bet that you look good on the dancefloor...but nowhere else."

  ...and the rest of the song's admittedly not deep but still very entertaining lyrics:

"Skin-tight jeans and MySpace hair

They have brought this over us

They're teenagers and they don't care

But what about us?

Spend their money at HMV

On bands they've seen in NME

They think they're into indie rock

But we know it's just kinder rock
Coldplay, Keane and Kaiser Chiefs

Kasabian, Jet and Razorlight

Kings of Leon, Dead 60’s: the kids are all shite"

Mikrofisch - The Kids Are All Shite

Being alive in 2009: the year rap and politics mix.

At least in the USA, they do. Obama calls Kanye a jackass. Common speaks about the president's influence on hip-hop! What next? Obama sporting a gold necklace that spells "PIMP" at the next press conference? FUN!!! Oh wait, apparently *bling* is no longer in.

Common: "I also don't find as much gangsta talk. You see the whole chain-shining-and-rim era is gone. That's like super-played out. Just to have that, I think, is part of the Obama effect."
