i seriously thought i was the only one in the world who knows her. (but why does it not surprise me that you know and love her?) i can listen to "lay your head down" all day. "the sailor and the widow." "in your back." brilliant poetry. brilliant voice.

OMG totally! she's fantastic. do you have any of her earlier stuff? if not, PM me ...

Hmm, haven't purchased too many albums this year. I like West by Lucinda Williams, but it's not as good as some of her others.

I guess the new Bright Eyes and Amy Winehouse would be my favorites. I really need to start exploring new music.

[BlackWidow]

The new Maroon 5 CD ROCKS!

[Musicman408]

I love me some Crystal Visions.

[BlackWidow]

YES! I finally broke down and bought Crystal Visions....LOL!

[Musicman408]

Oh, forgot to mention Amy Winehouse, although I don't think it came out this year, but I got it this year.

Buffalo Tom - Three easy Pieces: three spins and hooked. Dont judge on first listen. These songs are incredible. Easily my NR.1 untill now

Golden Smog - Blood on the Slacks: Seventiespoprock like you haven't heard for over thirty years. Perfection. 8 tracks, vinyllength. I miss that today, so that's extra quality.

Phonograph - Phonograph. Irresistable American Poprocksongs.

Dinosaur JR: see first post

Soul Savers: Well, it's Mark Lanegan people. If you haven't opened up for Mark Lanegan yet you don't experience life to the fullest.

i do... some. i am slowly discovering and savouring her music. what are your favourites? i only have about 6 of her tracks so far...

she played toronto at the beginning of june. i thought, oh, i'll swing by the bar after work. it'll probably be me and the bartender.

sold. out.

i was devastated.

i'm so curious how people discovered her. she's another one whose music i want to tell everyone about... while i bury her under a big rock and keep from the rest of the world. know what i mean?

oh, absolutely. it's how i feel about grace potter & the nocturnals ... i saw them at the berkeley church in toronto last month with about 100 people in the audience, and it was ****ing amazing. they were 5 feet away. i'm afraid after their new album comes out & they do their leno & craig ferguson (i think) appearances i'll never have that opportunity again. but i think everyone should listen to them.

I'm adding:

David Vandervelde - THE MOONSTATION HOUSE BAND

21 years old: classic pop. An unbelievable talent, people. Listen at least twice before judging.


Immaculate Machine - FABLES.

Beautiful male-female-trio: threepart harmonies, hooks, riffs, melodies-the works.

Nick Lowe- at my age.

Sorry, but I still love Nick Lowe. Easy listening from the other planets.

Albert Hammond, Jr ~ Yours To Keep
Definitely my number one favorite this year. Gorgeous and intricate, it's perfect from beginning to end. I love this CD and I love Albert. I've seen him (and his AMAZING band) twice this year and wish I could see them every Friday night. It doesn't get any better than this.

Amy Winehouse ~ Back To Black
The coolest CD of the year. She is the dirt. Someone should already give her the grammy for best new artist and song of the year ("Rehab"). Amy is a true original...she doesn't sound, look or act like anyone else. I adore her.

The Arcade Fire ~ Neon Bible
This is such a haunting CD. I go back and find new things to stir my mind around with every listen. I can't wait to see them play at ACL.

The Shins ~ Wincing The Night Away
No one else comes close to The Shins. This CD is pure ear candy -- the production is flawless. Everyone should own this.

Spoon ~ Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
This CD has me push play more than anything else right now. Its a perfect summer release. Sounds great on the beach but it also sounds good in the middle of the night when all the lights are out and you just have 2 candles burning. Atmospheric, to say the least.

Fountains Of Wayne ~ Traffic And Weather
14 little jewels. Gorgeous, smart and perfect pop songs. This is SUCH a great release.

Arctic Monkeys ~ Favorite Worst Nightmare
Rough around the edges with soft melodies wrapped around smart lyrics, this is a sonic blast in your player. Alex Turner just might be my favorite male vocalist -- he has a style that is all his own.

Travis ~ The Boy With No Name
Track number two is my favorite song at the moment - "Selfish Jean". This is a great CD and I cant wait to see these guys play live in a couple of months.

Johnette Napolitano ~ Scarred
She's one of a kind and has a voice like no other. I am always amazed by her talent. A hell of a CD. So glad I got to see her in March at SXSW.

Kings Of Leon ~ Because Of The Times
From the opening track to the very end, this is a rock release that you can't stop turning the volume up on. KOL are a great band and they got it right with this CD. I put this on in my Jeep and cruise down the highway. Can't complain about that.
