    That's a good list. I'm looking forward to yours.

    I just started to listen to Bishop Allen this weekend when Atrios posted a clip.

    Here's mine:

    I consider about 35-40% of that list to be my picks as well. I haven't listened to a few of those bands at all, to which I found your girls' comment very fitting. The SmartLinks helped though.

    I discovered Jens Lekman off this blog and it's climbing the Play Count column in my iTunes quickly.

    Jens L doesn't quite work for me, but I've got to admire lyrics like:
    "I picked up a seashell
    To illustrate my homelessness
    But a crab crawled out of it
    Making it useless"

    My own album of the year is Iron & Wine's "The Shepherd's Dog."

    I like I&W and I read nothing but good critic reviews about that album. But it just hasn't clicked with me yet.

    That Jens Lekman song might just be the gayest song I've ever heard in my life :)

    yea, I don't like it either

    Night Falls Over Kortedala is an awesome album.

    It's best to listen to the whole album and certain songs will have a way of clicking with you.

    It quickly became a soundtrack for my nyc morning subway rides...
