indeed, it would be both this one and "dark night of the soul" get a
lot of spins from me on the warm summer nights right now.

The only CDs was The Average White Band's new live one and Maxwell. A friend gave me Tori's new one and I am loving that.

PPP - Abundance
DOOM - Born Like This
Mos Def - The Ecstatic
Sonic Youth - The Eternal

The only albums I've listened to and loved:

DIRE.

I've never got so far into a year and bought so few new releases.

Oh shit, forgot the Eternal.

And glad you're loving the Ecstatic--didn't seem to get the love it deserves around here.

Haven't heard a one of these but would really like to try out at least one of them.

I forgot that this album was also released this year too:





Very solid collection of songs. Vocalist Genevieve Schatz reminds of Regina Spektor and Björk at times.
