There is no better feeling than walking into a record store to find an only copy of a record you ordered from an online record store and it was out of print.  The sheer excitement and joy on my face could not be put into words as I was flipping through the "T" tab in the rock section when I stumbled upon Tame Impala's Innerspeaker.  The debut album by Australian rockers, not only is this probably one of the best accidents I stumbled upon, but this album is really amazing.  The first song I ever heard was Solitude is Bliss and at the time I was content with solitude in my life, so when I read the lyrics it made perfect sense.  Also, it helped that the video was  very well done!!  The psychedelic rock aspect is definitely heard in their sound, but my roommate also said that it seems like they are heavily influenced by The Beatles, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.  All in all, this record is so great that I've played it twice and that is pretty rare!!  Also another great track is Jeremy's Storm, which is more of an instrumental song.

Enjoy!
