    It's less folky and more electric. Different but still very good. Officially released tomorrow!
    And if you dont have it, you must get Born on Flag Day as well!

    The right fight would be between Thurston Moore and Noel Gallagher...

    I have a friend who flew to the UK last Sunday, he is going to many concerts in the UK until late November, and from there till late December in the States another whole bunch of shows, to make a long story short, 4 Gillian Welch on either side of the Atlantic, 3 and 2 Noel Gallagher shows respectively, among many many many others...

    Ryan Adams, MMJ, R.E.M., The Decemberists, Eddie Vedder, and I'm going to go ahead now and include the Black Keys that comes out in December. They get an automatic bid.

    Foo Fighters have my favorite album of the year so far. I think Wasting Light is tremendous. And can't wait to see them live in 2 weeks :mrgreen:

    Other favorites:
    Wilco- The New Love
    Tres Mts- Tres Mts
    Cage the Elephant- Thank You, Happy Birthday
    Yuck- Yuck
    Dum Dum Girls- Only In Dreams
    Bon Iver- Bon Iver
    The Decemberists- The King Is Dead
    Portugal. The Man- In the Mountain in the Cloud
    R.E.M.- Collapse Into Now

    I loved Wasting Light, though I like Echoes better... Collapse is great, the best in decades, Helplessness blues is awswome...

    Agreed.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits

    That album is good but I don't think it is good enough to be that far ahead of everything else. I got 1 album in front of it so far.
