Music 2007





In no particular order:

Spoon: Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (each Spoon album is a grower...better and better with each listen)

Dinosaur Jr.: Beyond (great listen...they haven't missed a beat)

The Broken West: I Can't Go On, I'll Go On (beautiful folk pop...or something like that)

The White Stripes: Icky Thump (after a misstep, a return to great)

Radiohead: In Rainbows (best thing since OK Computer)

Bettye LaVette: Scene of the Crime (soul survivor teams up with Drive-By Truckers , tears it up)

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings: 100 Days 100 Nights (soul neophyte belts it out like the old days)

Field Music: Tones of Town (easily one of my most-listened to discs this year--catchy catchy pop)

Loney, Dear: Loney, Noir (pretty music)





The Clientele: God Save the Clientele (harmonious pop!)

Candie Payne: I Wish I Could Have Loved You More (Bond music for a new generation)

Band of Horses: Cease to Begin (a step up from an impressive debut)

Jens Lekman: Night Falls Over Kortedala (beautiful realization of potential)

Celebration: The Modern Tribe (uplifting dance-punk, soul pop)

Dan Deacon: Spiderman of the Rings (electronic kookiness that hooks)

Stephen Duffy & the Lilac Time: Runout Groove (fucking beautiful work from a guy who's done a lot of beautiful work)

Pale Young Gentlemen: Pale Young Gentlemen (technically a late 2006 release, but I love it...catchy, bittersweet low key pop)

The Lodger: Grown-Ups (classic sounding Brit indie rock)

I am glad you posted this. Since I have started writing music, I have honestly forgotten to listen to music. I need for people to point me towards the music that the record companies don't care enough about to pay to have put on the radio.

What's "radio"?

I guess I'll have to send you some hip hop so maybe some of it can make it onto the list. '07 was a good year for it.

Underground hip hop recommendations:

Blu & Exile - Below the Heavens
Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass
Brother Ali - The Undisputed Truth

I'll check out your selections that I haven't heard about...

I did like Phaorah Monche's new disc a lot...

Good list as usual. Spoon is right at the top of my list, as are Radiohead and The Broken West. I haven't heard a fair amount on your list either - stuff to check out. By the by, Bettye Lavette is backed by the Drive-By Truckers on that album.

And Rick, I like the Aesop Rock disc.

That's what I said!

dude, you need more blogs...

kexp is completely viable still, if you listen between 5am-4pm Seattle time.

Ryan Adams - Follow the Lights
Band of Horses - Cease to Begin
Bright Eyes - Cassadaga
Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America (technically last year?)

i listened to these four cds until the grooves wore out (or they started to get on my nerves...)
