I've heard good things about that Lumineers album. Two people said it'd be up my alley. So far: The Mountain Goats - Transcendental Youth John K. Samson - Provincial Tindersticks - The Something Rain Regina Spektor - What We Saw from the Cheap Seats The Magnetic Fields - Love at the Bottom of the Ocean What's telling about this list is that these are all artists I've been pretty committed to for some time. No one new making the list. My only new album by a new artist is Tramp by Sharon Van Etten, and while I love "Serpents" and the fact that the cover is a direct homage to John Cale's Fear, I'm not all that taken with the rest of it. |

So why don't you take your 8-tracks & Hustle your way out back to the disco! |

Japandroids - Celebration Beach House- Bloom Guided By Voices- Class Clown Spots a UFO Cloud Nothings- Attack on Memory JSBX - Meat and Bone No particular order, but Japandroids probably is my #1. This was a 'somewhat' down year for music, IMO. |

Whenever I would call for him and the receptionist would ask who was calling, I'd say Kix Brooks in a hillbilly accent. |

Dunn has a great voice,but Brooks has had some catchy tunes. |
