Make Believe
Earth
Silver Mt. Zion

For quality melodic punk I can't say enough about:

Methadones/Copyrights-split
The Steinways-Gorrilla Marketing
The Tim Version-Decline of the Southern Gentlemen

I think it has been a great year thus far. Those records I have loved included:

Portishead - 3
Shooting At Unarmed Men - Triptych
Melvins - Nude with Boots
Beehover - Zoo Heavy
Neon Neon - Stainless Style

Plus (pedants may point out that it was officially released in 2007 but it is too great to ignore):
Wolves in the Throne Room - Two Hunters

Bilge Pump
Cath and Phil Tyler

2 albums that would grace any year.

new Grouper record is sublime

Very fine men. Russ once kept me in the bathroom at a bar for half an hour talking about lasers. Even though I suggested we continue the conversation outside of the urinal closet, he felt he could speak more freely in the bathroom. It was no doubt some covert shit.

Maybe it's cos I'm a girly but I like Parades by Efterklang. Is anyone going to see them play with Tortoise tomorrow night in Dublin? I'm going alone cos I have no friends

I also very much like the Earth album. And:
