Shearwater - Rook 2. TV on the Radio - Dear Science 3. No Age - Nouns 4. The Walkmen - You & Me 5. Deerhunter - Microcastle and I just never quite got a handle on what makes Bon Iver so special. Good live act, but the album doesn't do much for me. To each their own, though! My top 5 is something like:

1. Shearwater - Rook
2. TV on the Radio - Dear Science
3. No Age - Nouns
4. The Walkmen - You & Me
5. Deerhunter - Microcastle

I need to listen to more current music apparently. It seems most of my my favorite records of 2008 were released in 2007. Can I retroactively name Coconut Records my favorite album of 2007 and 2008????? I'm going to give Fleet Foxes a listen to though. Thanks for the list Brad Matthew. I say good day. In no particuliar order -
