I like a tight and distinctive rhythm section, to boot.<BR/><BR/>I should start a Pandora station with some of my favorites and see what comes out.<BR/><BR/>D.Dave Koppermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09292071349686573917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457411005352662997.post-62408045881867481422008-12-12T15:31:00.000-05:002008-12-12T15:31:00.000-05:00With you its a crap shoot..

And that includes old music that's new to me. I really need to find stuff on my own, and approach it from a place of total ignorance. <BR/><BR/>There have been exceptions to this over the years, but few.<BR/><BR/>D.Dave Koppermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09292071349686573917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457411005352662997.post-86997813040174891962008-12-12T12:50:00.000-05:002008-12-12T12:50:00.000-05:00I also love the Fleet Foxes album.

Fleet Foxes..<BR/><BR/>Best album of the year by miles.. One of the best albums of the last 10 years... Check them out on Walrus in the We Recommend section if you haven't aready.. <BR/><BR/>Other notables this year.. Little Joy, Benji Hughes, No Age, Ruby Suns, M83, Tallest Man in the World, The latest in the Bob Dylan Bootleg Series... and Vampire Weekend... <BR/><BR/>It was actually a great year for music... too bad no one has heard them.. this is comletely the fault of the record industry...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
