you are right.  Sire released it in August of 2004.  I also read this:  " She originally self-released Soviet Kitsch nearly two years before Sire released it"

" She originally self-released Soviet Kitsch nearly two years before Sire released it"

yeah i'm pretty sure she was playing that stuff 2 years ago when she opened for the Strokes.

Make Believe - Weezer

i've got to hear an explanation for this, or maybe even an In Defense Of because this album is inexplicable.

and "I like crap..." is not an excuse...

Actually, that might be the only excuse.



My favorites so far this year:
Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
Ryan Adams - Cold Roses (even lesser Ryan Adams is better than most other things)
The Eels - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations
Stereophonics - Sex, Language, Violence, Other?
Nellie McKay - Get Away From Me
David Poe - Love is Red
Black Lab - See the Sun

Simply put, it's their only album since Pinkerton with emotion to it (sans Beverly Hills).

The Black Mountain album is fantastic, it is quickly becoming one of my faves.

A gripe though is it's more like an EP, it has some long songs but still feels like an EP, only 8 tracks. Would have been nice if it had a couple more tracks at least.

Can't find Pink Mountain Tops but will continue looking.

pink mountaintops are not as good as black mountain, but worth checking out. they have been described as the "sexy" side of black mountain, although i find that black mountain record sexy as hell.

Nellie McKay- Get Away From Me

that album came out feb 2004

[Myxo]

I'm really disappointed in myself. I haven't heard many of the albums you all have listed above. Gah! Must.. get.. to.. record store. I will preview a few of these soon. Lots of you have posted favorites but is there anything in particular this year that I just have to hear?
