Well, Christian, 2 years in a row you have turned me on to another great CD. Last year it was The Shins, which I bought and loved. This year, it's Laura Veirs. The disc arrived in the mail today and once again, you've made a great recommendation. Thanks. Keep up your once-a-year-break-your-own-rules ...ummm rule. Gloddy comes through again!

You could have also nominated "The Long March EP" (which has 8 songs and is longer than many albums these days). Long March shows Blue Scholars maturing nicely, I can't wait to see what happens next. Too bad I'm suffering jet lag and don't feel up to going to their presumably sold-out show tonight. I've actually bought too many albums this year and lost track of my favorite at some point. Most everything I bought was a compilation, mix tape or used or reissued older album, though, so it should be straight-forward. I was most pleasantly surprised by this jazz album steppers+ by the Japanese group Mas. I was most excited to find a collection of 19 previously unreleased tracks by the Japanese experimental group 19 called "19 by 19". I've been playing Common and White Stripes quite a bit. But I think my vote for best album will be a tie between the Blue Scholars releases. Because I want to be able to say "told you so" when they start getting national attention.
