sorry i have neglected your list till now…i wanted to get mine out without having to rely on seeing yours. you are the shaper….

as expected, you picked some tasty stuff. i knew you would list Sleepercar, Austin Collins, and Hayes Carl…all three are damn good albums. see, makes me wanna go back and revise mine!

was tough for me to leave Local H off, but in the end, i just didn’t play it enough. i still like it a lot and of course, wish Scott and Brian the best. as far as concept albums go, it will be a keeper.

surprised to see Oasis and Raconteurs on your list, if only b/c they are so mainstream (can i say that about Mr. White?) that Raconteurs release is damn strong…it was so early in the year i have almost forgotten it. sad for me.

look forward to enjoying my Shapes Stars Make; hope that pretty green Songs in A&E LP made your 2007!!

thanks for the list!

Thanks for the list. I’m going to check out everyone that I haven’t heard over the next couple of days.

I really like the latest Oasis. They have really made a nice comeback with this album and Don’t believe the truth.

Hayes Carll’s cd is also tremendous.
