So far:

the Breeders: Mountain Battles
Ladyhawk: Shots
Future of the Left: Curses

I'm sure the new Bottomless Pit and New Year records will be up there once I've heard them.

Slow year so far, especially in comparison to 2007.

i still can't believe a band called themselves ladyhawk. from the name i'd expect some seriously awful emo shit, and yet that band is quite decent.

my picks are portishead and black moth super rainbow, although the bmsr record i think came out last year.

subtle - exitingARM

Grey Daturas - Return To Disruption (Neurot)
Polar Bear - Polar Bear (Tin Angel)
Boredoms - Super Roots 9 (Thrill Jockey)
Oneida - Preteen Weaponry (Jagjaguwar)
Moss - Sub Templum (Rise Above)

Thy are a great band and decent blokes too.

Dodgy name and very dodgy artwork though. No question.

Seriously? C'mon, as a fan I'll say that it was horrible. I gave it one listen.

Wow, a decent number of people mentioned Make Believe.
What a great band.
