Here are my mid-year favorites so far: Kevin Bartlett: "Glow in the Dark" Jill Tracy: "The Bittersweet Constrain" Terami Hirsch: "A Broke Machine" I am getting to know these 2007 releases much better and I am thoroughly enjoying them this year: Happy Rhodes: "Find Me" Noe Venable: "The Summer Storm Journals" - -----Original Message----- From: owner-ecto@smoe.org [mailto:owner-ecto@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Paul Jensen Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 6:53 PM To: ecto Subject: Mid-year "Best so far.." wrap up We're halfway through 2008 and it's already shaping up to be an incredible year for music.. 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.."

I'm a huge, huge Shearwater fan, and they've been mentioned a couple times on this list before. I'm so excited that others are finding out about them. They're going to be opening for Coldplay this summer -- not that I have any interest in Coldplay, but I figure anything that gets them more exposure is a good thing... - --Sue ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V13 #525 ***************************
