Nice. Some great albums here. I’m giving the nod to Downtown Blues — not only is it sort of rare, but it highlights the raw Tom Waits sound very nicely.

I am still trying to set up my OWN iPod Nano since September. I officially am a proud owner, no more borrowing the kids iPods. Just been a bit busy though.

On my list are:

“I saw her in the Anitwar Demostration”Jens Lekman (Oh You’re So Silent Jens)

“Solo le pido de Dios” The Mammals (Departure)

“One Tribe” Orleans

“1,000 Miles from You” Jon Pousette Dart

“I am a Patriot” Jackson Browne

I have disappeared from TTC. Sighing…

As usual, great lists from all contributors.

Welcome back, Lizzy! You know that you can use iTunes, which is free, even without an iPod, right?

Also, you should check out this post that I wrote on John Hall if you haven’t already seen it.

Matt,

That was a beautiful post w/Colbert & Congressman Elect John Hall. Thanks. If you would like to hear some nice words and John singing a truly special song, go here.
