i'm liking the bon iver love. also promise of redemptions "when the flowers bloom" is pretty much the reason i survived this winter.

Last summer, I'd began to dabble in '60s Psychedelic Pop, but never really gave The Velvet Underground a thorough listening. I picked up Loaded vinyl and The Velvet Underground & Nico digitally and love them both.

I'm also discovering Joni Mitchell's catalog (which, given the popularity of Folk on this site, should be required listening). Currently, I'm listening to Blue and Court and Spark.

Oh, and though I did, in fact, own Bon Iver's album last year (*coughillegallycough*), I bought the rerelease this year.

I'm currently enamored with the "Outlaw Country" scene (for lack of a better term), specifically my favorite Country recording artist, Merle Haggard. I've been dividing my time between Branded Man (obviously), Mama Tried and Pancho & Lefty (with Willie Nelson).

Also this year, I discovered contemporary Jazz artist Vijay Iyer, who's album Tragicomic is one of the best of the year so far. This prompted me to mine through his backlog, which lead me to the seminal contemporary Jazz masterpiece Blood Sutra.

[Neo Cassady]

For Emma, Forever Ago
American Hearts
Nebraska
After the Gold Rush

I'd never imagine that, of all the inspiring artists who've documented their trials, their hardships, their miseries and their triumphs, there would be someone who would claim "the dude from Valencia saved my life."

More power dude, more power.

Xavier Rudd - White Moth

[kitti_katt420]

Tegan and Sara--The Con
Alkaline Trio--Good Mourning
Bright Eyes--Lifted or the Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground

Hot Water Music--Fuel for the Hate Game
I Love You, But I've Chosen Darkness--Fear is on Our Side
Hope Sandoval--Bavarian Fruit Bread
Bruce Springsteen--Darkness on the Edge of Town
Bruce Springsteen--The River





this would actually be more like a soundtrack to my summer as opposed to what I've been listening to all year.

[chaosB4storm]

In Defense of the Genre is probably the album I listened to the most this year so far...

haha i was expecting someone to say something like that. the lyrics aren't anything incredible, just straight forward and i think thats what i was looking for at that time. and knowing that story just related to me so much it was impossible to not feel a connection there.

[xBITCHxPLEASEx]

Enter Shikari's Take To The Skies is one I just discovered. As you can probably tell, it's my favorite at the moment.

I think most of the music I listen to was released before 2008 :/

[llwilliamsll]

Born Ruffians' most recent album (2007 I believe)
Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam

I burned a CD with those two albums and have been pretty much listening exclusively to it. Been listening to American Football on the side, but that's an always.

[demondays524]

I've been listening to Within Temptation's "The Silent Force" and "Mother Earth" a lot, but i dont know if they count because they were reissued this year for the US. Also, Chiodos' "All's Well That Ends Well" and Devil Wears Prada.
