Good list. Really want to hear the Booker T. and have no excuse for not having done that yet. My list, which I won't order yet: The Hard Lessons, ARMS FOREST I Was A King, S/T (anyone a fan of GRAND PRIX era Teenage Fanclub needs to run out and buy this now; they even do their own TFC tribute, a song called "Norman Bleik") Lee Fields & The Expressions, MY WORLD The Faraway Places, OUT OF THE RAIN, THE THUNDER, AND THE LIGHTNING The Living Blue, WALK, TALK, RHYTHM, ROAM (They've broken up, but frontman Stephen Ucherek's new band, Village, has an upcoming EP streamed on myspace that is so good it hurts.) The Leisure Society, THE SLEEPER The High Strung, ODE TO THE INVERSE OF THE DUDE Office, MECCA Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse, DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL Jarvis Cocker, FURTHER COMPLICATIONS. Looking forward to: that Village EP, new Len Price 3 disc, new Richard Hawley disc, and other stuff I'm sure. Favorite re-issue/first issue/lost treasure: The Pretty Things with Phillipe DeBarge, S/T. Recut and remastered from the original source tapes (the bootleg on the internet sounds terrible by comparison) with the full blessings of the Pretties and the DeBarge estate. Like finding out there was a great lost followup to SF SORROW. Favorite discovery of an album of recent vintage: Happy Chichester (Royal Crescent Mob/Howlin' Maggie) put out a pretty amazing solo album in 2007. Who knew? Hoping for a miracle: Wishing that Dragoon (Tripp and Stan Gallimore of The Grifters, along with Bobby Matthews ex-of Trusty) would get around to releasing...something. The songs on their myspace page are so freaking good, that it baffles me they won't just put 'em up for sale via iTunes or Emusic or Amie St. If you thought the Grifters sound was a creation of the two singer/guitarists (I did), Dragoon is something of an amazing revelation--the sound was as much Tripp and Stanley as anyone, and Dragoon is what the Grifters should've evolved into instead of breaking up.
