the album begins to trail off a bit for me towards the middle but Hot Soft Light is probably my most played song this year, so for that i have to give it credit.  but you cant list Apples In Stereo cause thats an 07 release!
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

I think I'm getting more into this. I hope to like it as much as Roomsound and Quicksand Cradlesnakes here soon.

Quote from: polkabluesNellie McKay - Pretty Little Head

I found this album to be tragically disappointing, compared to her first.

Not as good as her first, for sure, but far from disappointing.


Here's a few more I forgot the first time around:

Keane - Under the Iron Sea
Placebo - Meds
Gus Black - Autumn Days

And the "One great song amidst a sea of mediocrity" award goes to... Augustana, for "Bullets".

i'm a little overwhelmed and depressed after reading the "best of" lists floating around on the internet.  i thought i stayed on top of everything that i wanted to this year, but after downloading some of the "best songs of the year" at various hipster blog spots i found that i missed a lot that i probably would have enjoyed.  peter bjorn and john's "young folks" is on constant repeat right now.  i just wish i got there earlier.  here's my list, i guess:

1.  joanna newsom - ys
2.  destroyer - rubies
3.  final fantasy - he poos clouds
4.  sunset ruddown - shut up i am dreaming
5.  suburban kids with biblical names - #3
6.  belle and sebastian - the life pursuit
7.  camera obscura - let's get out of this country
8.  the decemberists - the crane wife
9.  oh no! oh my! - oh no! oh my!
10.  ramona cordova - the boy who floated freely

It still hasn't surpassed Roomsound or Heron King Blues to me, but that doesn't mean it's a bad album.  It's still pretty solid.

Also, Cornelius' "Sensuous" weaves in and out of my list, up and down in an endless spiral.

1.  Dan Sartain -- Join Dan Sartain[/size]


a few others in no particular order:
Blood Brothers -- Young Machetes
The Hold Steady -- Boyz & Girlz 'n Amerika
Hot Snakes -- Thunder Down Under (live albums count right?)
Radio Birdman -- Zeno Beach
Black Heart Procession -- The Spell
The Aggrolites -- The Aggrolites
The Marked Men -- Fix My Brain

things I'll probably edit my list to include once I hear them:
Tom Waits -- Orphans
Dallas Crane -- Factory Girls



Ghostboy

I just picked up Bonnie Prince Billy's The Letting Go, and I think it's really beautiful. Probably my second favorite new thing I've heard so far this year, after Ys.

I also got the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album, finally, and I really like it a lot, although not enough to put it on a list.

I also bought Scott Walker's The Drift. I'm trying to get into it, but I'm having a lot of trouble so far. But I've seen it on a lot of other year end lists, so I'm going to keep listening...

The Aggrolites -- The Aggrolites

I saw them open for the Aquabats, but I caught them midset.  They still put on quite a show.
