agreed, that james blackshaw album, I just checked it iout and it's fucking incredible. cheers for the indirect recommendation!

Glad people are enjoying my list... Massassinated, yours is pretty awesome.

anytime i think i'm about ready to finalize a list, i hear something else amazing... damnit.

anyone hear the Stag Hare album "Black Medicine Music"? shiiit

Hey, thanks for the people who repped me. I just checked and was shocked to see I'm # 2 on the rep list. No one's ever going to beat floatingslowly though, haha.

I was not kiddin' about alopecia, DUDE!!

I'm not into much new music, but Quaristice and In Rainbows (released 2008 here) were pretty good. Quaristice in particular took me ages to get into but was most rewarding, solidifying the fact that Autechre's albums are all quality.

Ooh and the Pavement reissue of Brighten the Corners was awesome. Really dug it.

Lots of great albums in there, Moshe. Didn't know Vandermark 5 had a new one, will have to investigate...

some great cello action in the vandermark album. didn't see the new nnck in many lists. I think it is their best work to date.

it would be in mine if i could be bothered to write a list

great list Moshe, no Hush Arbors though?

I had a dream last night that I bought the Fleet Foxes album.

didn't listen to it yet.
