Ah, a wonderful time putting this together. Even though I have switched to a streaming service (MOG), we’ll see if that changes the way I rate and am able to go back and find out what records I really fell in love with. Added bonus of youtube performance link from Claire. Open in iPod’s to see all the links and other goodies. 9. Julianna Barwick, The Magic Place 8. Washed [&hellip

Hello friends. Its been another year, and while perhaps no one will miss 2009, it of course had a great deal of fantastic music. I went through all my ratings of all I had heard and complied this podcast with examples of just one of the songs from albums that had the most amount of great tunes. If you enjoy please comment.

The top 12 records of 2008 as voted by me… 3 are from 2007 which is a bit lame, so there’s a solid top

Welcome again for that holiday tradition, this year, everything pretty much is a reissue of stuff from 1971, so who knows what the music world is all about. Play this on your new ipod/iphone though, I dumped .mp3 for .m4p and put in artwork, and all that jazz. It rolls in at about 50 meg, so consider this a early christmas present. Cheers! 10. Yeasayer – All Hour Cymbals 9. [&hellip

I missed out on the Michigan record last year, but I’m catching up, Sufjan Stevens Illinois, by a mile. How you get some Philip Glass + Brian Wilson + Ira Glass + High School Chorus and make it sound this good is beyond me

Tough to pick one, Animal Collective was a great revelation, mash-ups like The Grey Album and Go Home Productions put a great spin on old tunes, Joana Molina Tres Cosias was fantastic, and the concert of the year. But nothing is dearer to my heart than the sonic craziness of Ariel Pink – The Doldrums

Bonnie Prince BIlly is a tough one to pin down, certainly prolific and somewhat dodgy, but Master and Everyone gets my vote for best of

Its a joy to see the fine reissues of previously impossible to find gems that gushed out of Jamaica in the 74-80 period. But what about the gems produced on these shores? In Brooklyn for example with Bullwackie Barnes? Thanks to the Rhythm and Sound German guys we have a chance to reawaken a great period in our own history. Showcases like Horace Andy meets Nagoo Morris top my list [&hellip
