Not so much a top ten but some of my favs.

Sharon & Hope, Get On With Your Life, the end of the love affair, Stations, Everyone else in the ...

shannon wright this year :I . a very small european tour(5 dates) for no particular reasons, just for pleasure i guess!
in fact, a couple of weeks before the concert, i just didn't know she was going to play in town until a penpal told
me he was going to see her soon...it was so ...

Following on from my comments about Ms Chan Marshall (aka Catpower) on another thread, how about people posting some of their best and worst gig experiences.

Some of the best

Numerous Rush gigs when I was younger and they were in their pomp, I really would get transported to another world when I ...

Sounds like the Catpower gig I went to see a few years back [censor]

I have forgiven her mind you.

Hey! maybe it was not a dream at all, but a premonition

Still I bet there will be plenty of people who are jealous that you got to see Stina play live (all be it a short set) even if it was in a dream, me included.

I have good intelligence that says Stina was the British Shin Kicking Champion in 2001, or at least I would like to think this is a skill of Stina's we never knew about .

I guess I set the boundaries fairly wide, the artistes dont necessarily have to be virtually unknown, and I kind of expected some people would have heard of the muses, but I was not sure about the others. Basically I was just hoping people would enthuse about a few albums that others would then ...

5 great-lost albums.

I know I don’t visit the board frequently enough, but in an attempt to get some communication going, I am asking people to give information on 5 albums they consider being great-lost albums. The theme is open to interpretation, so you can pick seriously underground records or ...

I never quite no where to sit with the whole, when on earth is a
Artist going to get around to releasing a new record, and
being interested in knowing what kind of a person they are.

Two things strike me though, firstly it does seem that with the
Internet, it has never been easier for artistes to ...

I am okay with 2008 music wise

The Submarines
Death Cab for Cutie
Kathleen Edwards
The Last Shadow Puppets
Band of Horses (probably a 2007 release in America)
Have all released great records

All I need now is for
Joanna Newsom and Stina to release something new this year and it will turn in to a ...

Tegan & Sara are rather good aren't they. There is something about their voices that is very appealing. I have So Jealous and If I was you, and I really must check out The Con.

Universal Audio is 100 times better than Peleton, but it back on your list

The Delgados are brilliant, if you like them you should definately check out Universal Audio, thier last and best album I think, plus check out Emma Pollocks solo album 'watch the fireworks' too.

Book - brilliant. Film - average.

I cannot understand why it got such fantastic reviews, even James Mcevoy and Romala garia who are normally brilliant were odinary in this.

No its not prominent, but it is a good one (then again I like B&S), Kimya Dawson's tracks have the most prominence.

The film is excellent by the way.

I also thought Ellen was brilliant in Hard Candy, so she is definately one to watch.
