A BIT OF SOMETHING FOR NOW
Here's an initial list of my favourite albums of the year so far:
Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit
Mogwai - Mr. Beast
Cat Power - The Greatest (was that this year?)
Built to Spill - You in Reverse
Quasi - When The Going Gets Dark
Blood Brothers - Young Machetes
Yo La Tengo - I am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America
Ghostface Killah - Fishscale
The Game - Doctor's Advocate
Frontrunners for the best of those are: Mogwai, Blood Brothers and Quasi, although Belle & Sebastian made the most thorughly listenable from end to end of the lot.
Best Show: The Bell Orchestre @ Vertigo Playhouse Theatre in Calgary; under the Tower.

Word.
Let's get it on.
Meeting up with some peops on Wednesday. We should roll in blazing.
I'm pleased to see you've selected some Ghostface in your list Ron. Brings me back to the Norkam days when I thought I had found the pinnacle of musical brilliance in Method Man and the Wu Tang Clan.
Have you heard anything from Clipse? He's got some good tracks on his latest album.
I didn't listen to Ghostface for a few months, but it hasn't been out of the player for a few days now. Something about the holidays makes me want to get all wrapped up. OHHHHH!!!!!
Have to hand it to you for casting a wide net and displaying an eclectic assortment of tastes.
Belle & Sebastian, Blood Brothers AND The Game. Wow.
p.s I have a sneaky suspicion Ladyhawk will make your top ten by year end. Probably your number 2 or 3. While you're at it you better include Swan Lake.
