that is an excellent list there my dear friend. though i haven't heard all of the albums on there AND i'm a bit biased as to who would take #1 (i'm really digging the decemberists - as if you can't tell from my ipod playlist on my blog. haha) but i just picked up the new sufjan stevens cd (a few weeks early? perhaps?) so things could change.
ReplyDeleteand i did respond to your comment on my blog. thus showing i have a lot of love for ALL boys with MP3 blogs. :)
ever listen to bright eyes?
ReplyDeletejust curious
the new one from sufjan is my 2005 favorite album so far. In second:
ReplyDeleteClap your hands say yeah!
russian futurists?
ReplyDeletetiger bear wolf?
andrew bird?
good list nonetheless
in fact i just got my mitts on 'clap your hands and say yeah' yesterday. i am enjoying it.
ReplyDeletei don't see how it can be a first half list when many of these won't be out until way into the second half
ReplyDeleteI have to strongly agree with your choices for #1 & #2. That is all I have been listening to lately. And John Vanderslice is so mp3 friendly that he has many tunes on his sight. I just posted some of his stuff.
ReplyDeleteThe National is my favorite new band. Everytime I think I can't possibly hear more great songs from them, I hear more great songs.
