This ie excellent, excellent stuff, Smans. Thanks so much. I know I’m gonna discover a lot of great music just by digging into this list. Many thanks. Glad to see Elephant Micah getting his due.

Also, I’ll back up Er on his choices of Peasant, Peter Broderick, and the Accidental. Particularly those first two.

man.. that Tillman record is a tour de force. Probably my favorite from him yet, which is kind of like picking your favorite kid or something, but still.

Thanks for the list, some artists I am unaware of!

I do agree the b-sides to Lotte Kestner are top notch. Right Away, I did expect to be good, Borcherdt hit me out of left field though. Picked up the vinyl for Coyotes (had him sign it as well) at a concert a few weeks back!!

i just found your blog. great work, thanks a lot!

these are almost my top 25! most of them are in my top releases as well. we´re music twins!

i even prefer the b-sides of lotte kestner.
Right Away, Great Captain! and Brian Borcherdt were my biggest surprises this year. i´m still waiting for the vinyl…

here´s what i really like and didn´t find on your list.

The Accidental: There Were Wolves lp
Meredith Bragg and the Terminals: Silver Sonya cd
Larry Jon Wilson: s/t cd
Peter Broderick: home lp
Ken Reaume: Four Horses cd
Neil Halstead: Oh! Mighty Engine lp
Mount Eerie: dawn lp (i prefer this one compared to the lost wisdom release)
Choir Of Young Believers: This Is For The White In Your Eyes lp
Katkhuda: A Long Way From Somewhere (obi solo project) cd
soltero: you´re no dream cd
Benoit Pioulard: Temper
Beatbeat Whisper: Wonder Continental cd
Peasant: s/t cd

usually i don´t like live records, but this one´s really good.
Christina und Karla-Therese Kiellvander: Santiago Alquimista et al – live cd

the same with cover versions but these i really liked:
James Yorkston: When The Haar Rolls In (Covers)

i could go on like this… it´s so hard to do a list and it changes every day… but i hope you´ll find one or another great release, you don´t know yet…
