Aw, c'mon, man...you gotta find room for Byrne and Eno's "Strange Overtones" on there--even the 'fork gave it some props. Thank you for not putting those damn Fleet Foxes on your list. | ||

Suffering Jukebox – Silver Jews 5. Demon Days – Robert Forster 6. Lost Coastlines – Okkervil River 7. Crick In My Neck – Cass McCombs 8. Mansard Roof – Vampire Weekend 9. St Peter’s Day Festival – Ra Ra Riot 10. The Roof Top Song – Port O’Brien 11. Waving Flags – British Sea Power 12. Never Stops – Deerhunter 13. It’s My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry– Glasvegas 14. Grounds For Divorce – Elbow 15. I Heard Wonders – David Holmes 16. Family Tree – TV On The Radio 17. Electric Feel – MGMT 18. Christopher And Anthony – Jape 19. One Pure Thought – Hot Chip 20. Untrust Us – Crystal Castles Sorry to offend Dr Girlfriend but in my book those damn Fleet Foxes are a thing of beauty! I remember Padraig posted a year end best of disc here last year, any other takers? Ewan, your Mr. Forsty Pants' "Quiet Heart" at his Dublin show was possibly the live highlight of the year for me, that and "Johnsburg, Illinois" by Tom Waits in Barcelona. | ||

o.k. i often pointed out that this port o brien song 'i woke up today' is my favourite one. simple but makes happy. but it is more than necessary to put the following on the list of the fave songs of the year: blue ridge mountain - fleet foxes (since months i can't get this song out of my head) mykonos - fleet foxes white winter hymnal - fleet foxes jealous enemies - dark captain light captain lies - the black keys the red river - micah blue smaldone premonition - esbjörn svenson trio and this elbow song hardin mentions is also a real highlight even when i didn't own the album, but to listen to it on the radio is pleasure for me and my wife, too. cheers, andreas | ||

that mgmt song th ekid is always played on the radio. really hard to get it out of the mind. shit, didn't bought the latest fall album. also mark. e. smith released an album together with his part time manager ed blaney. should sound like filling the gap between the fall and von südened (as my local music mag writes). kevin, did you listened to it? | ||

skulldisco and I don't agree that much, but I gotta go with "Machine Gun" by Portishead too. Brutal, but you can't turn it off. | ||

That's right, she's only a poor girl with a case of hopeless hero worship for ETM's writing style. It's kevin who's the fourth alter-ego... | ||

In fact, due to the very promising last therapy session we had, perhaps it's time to come out and admit to ourselves that there's really only one person here on this board... | ||
| Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 1324 Registered: 08-2006 |
If true, Allen, that person has some VERY conflicted feeling about certain artists. | ||

Yes...and society is to blame. | ||

Below are my favorites. (Rules I follow each year: Album released in current year. One song by each artist only. No re-makes (but you will see that I broke this rule - couldn't resist).

I can't stop listening to the first 7 songs on that CD! 1) Demon Days Robert Forster 2) The Righteous Path Drive-By Truckers 3) Kids MGMT 4) My Year In Lists Los Campesinos! 5) Pork and Beans Weezer 6) Whose Authority Nada Surf 7) The Nun's Litany Magnetic Fields 8) Get Better Mates of State 9) About To Walk Throw Me The Statue 10) Ghost Under Rocks Ra Ra Riot 11) Thirty One Today Aimee Mann 12) 7 Keys Aqualung 13) Where Do You Run To Vivian Girls 14) Tessellate Tokyo Police Club 15) The Silence Between Us Bob Mould 16) You Cheated Me Martha Wainwright 17) I Love You Like A Madman The Wave Pictures 18) Kim & Jessie M83 19) Before It Gets Better Earlimart 20) Underneath the Weeping Willow Young Rapture Choir | ||

How could I have heard my first song of MGMT only last week... And I've also missed some other very good things. Rara Riots, Get well soon (from Germany, absolutely brilliant), Metronomy, etc. Next week i'll fill the gaps at the discobus and rent all these cd's. | ||
