I've been fairly (if not TOTALLY) obsessed with all of the following, and still have more to get familiar with that will probably make it on the list by the end of the year.. (My Brightest Diamond, Veda Hille, Terami Hirsch - to throw a few out there..) So here's my list for "Best so far.." for 2008.. And yes, the order is intentional - but since these are titles that I'm saying are 'the best' - there are really no losers. ;-) Sigur Ros "Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust" Scarlett Johansson - "Anywhere I Lay My Head" Donna Lewis - "In the Pink" Aimee Mann - "#!%&* Smilers" Owl City - "Maybe I'm Dreaming" Sarah Brightman - "Symphony" Alanis Morrissette - "Flavors of Entanglement" Jack Johnson - "Sleep through the Static" The B-52's - "Funplex" Hammock - "Maybe they will Sing for us Tomorrow" Martha Wainwright "I Know You're Married.." Paul - -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "This is the time. And this is the record of the time." - -Laurie Anderson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:21:53 -0700 From: birdie Subject: The Paper Raincoat new CD free download Hey....Pssst!

I know this sounds like damning with faint praise, but I just got it and the songs have yet to differentiate themselves. I do like it, though, so I'm sure they will in time. I'm reluctant to call it overproduced, but it definitely is noticeably *produced*, if that makes sense. Kay Hanley - Weaponize: If you liked Letters to Cleo, then go out and get this right away, because it's a near-perfect pop album. Terami Hirsch - A Broke Machine: Someone posted a while back that this album takes a while to sink in, but when it does, it *does*. Spot on, if you ask me. It's already very familiar (in a good way). As for my best of 2008, I don't know if I've heard enough albums yet to make that call. I do know that if it ends up being released this year, Kristin Hersh's "Speedbath" will likely get the best-of spot. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V13 #524 ***************************
