01} This album is available domestically now under the name 'Anything'. She sang withTricky. This song is a great mood setter.
02} Sia Furler, my favorite singer on the two Zero 7 recordings, made a solo record. Released in England only. Ass-Kickin!
03} The retro selection, I bought this album this year. I can't believe I never had heard it all! How did I live without it? Tracy Thorn sings
04} I bought this used EP at Aquarius, it had a beautiful cover, (designed by Vaughn Oliver!!) I shelved it, but this track fit the mood.
05} I heard Olabelle live on Morning Become Eclectic. When I went to watch the video, I was shocked to find that these guys are white!
06} Anet had been listening to 'Oh Brother Where Art Thou' soundtrack, and this song just sticks in my head. Found it on their live album.
07} The first single released off of Sam Beam's latest album. When I first heard it I had a real emotional reaction. His sister sings backup.
08} I saw Ryan Adams at a Bridge concert a few years back. He was great, but his recordings always fell short. Now he reaches his potential.
09} The simple flamenco arrangement on this track lets her voice really soar. These live recordings show off her voice so much more.
10} This was on NPR. They sued Wilco for an unauthorized sample for Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and won, which funded a wider release.
11} I could've used any song off of Blue Screen Life, but this had that radio transmission part which flowed with the Conet stuff just so.
12} Mark Eitzel got the band back together. This gem stands out. He can break my heart wide open with his voice and a guitar.
13} Elliot killing himself was a blow to me. This posthumous release is so poignant. I chose this track because of the harmonious ending.
14} Samantha and I went to see these guys. They are so young and seemed harmless as they tuned up, but then EXPLODED!! U must see!
15} I actually got this off of a compilation. If anyone wants to give me a gift, I'll take a copy Matmos: The West! good ender i thought.
