House Of Jealous Lovers

I'm really enjoying the numerous new releases that came out this week. Two Bright Eyes albums (each different in tone, both excellent), the new ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead (more relaxed than past releases) and the new Low (Sub Pop debut; more upbeat, still lives up to the name of the band).

Interview scheduled tomorrow for a possible new job. Life is good. Life is great.

Albums Of The Year

I've been seeing lots of top ten records of 2004 lists everywhere so here's mine in no particular order:

Elliott Smith - From A Basement On The Hill
The Arcade Fire - Funeral
PJ Harvey - Uh Huh Her
Autolux - Future Perfect
Jimmy Eat World - Futures
The Blood Brothers - Crimes
The Good Life - Album Of The Year
TV On The Radio - Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes
Interpol - Antics
Hot Water Music - The New What's Next

These were the albums I listened to the most and never got sick of. I could list fifty other amazing, wonderful albums that came out in 2004 but that wouldn't really qualify as a top ten list, now would it? Don't be stupid...

If you would like to post your own top ten, be my guest. Mi Blog es su Blog.
