It’s that time again, so sit back and buy away because these are some great deals. This week, I actually went through some of my personal favorites and checked if they were at a low price, and well, you got lucky. Radiohead‘s In Rainbows may have been free online a couple of years ago when Radiohead decided to release the album in a set-your-own price way, but today you can get it for less than $10. And let’s face it, music that great is worth a lot more.

There’s Lily Allen who spits out blunt lyrics above those hype beats. There’s Kate Nash who, like Allen, sings with that charming Cockney accent right on top of her pop guitar strumming. Then there’s the two who are a bit more soothing and perhaps too wise for their age: Laura Marling who tells the tales of gothic beauty with her guitar at the age of 18 and Adele with vocals which you refused to believe came from a 19 year old (now 20).
