   Very nice, eclectic mix:) A few of yours have made my top 10 as well. I’ll let you know at the end of the week!

2. Rachel on January 1st, 2008 2:14 pm

   Thanks Joe, can’t wait to see what your list looks like.

   I really love the list, honestly I don’t know if I could do a better one. Beirut I again have to thank you for. They now rank among my favorite bands ever, I look forward to every release. Also my soulful Sharon I wonder if we can catch live!

   As promised…

   Thanks Pip I could not of done it without you, thanks for all your help. :-)

   Joe, I will have to check it when I get home, but man are you telling me you cut Radiohead from your list?! Crazy!

   I am seeing Andrew Bird tomorrow in Sydney. Then Explosions in the Sky and Beirut tour next month, how lucky am I? Nice list, although I would have found room for Sunset Rubdown.

   i don’t think i’ve actually listened to shannon yet….seems like a good time to start :)

8. Joe Jamison on January 4th, 2008 7:52 am

   That’s exactly what I’m saying…

9. Rachel on January 4th, 2008 11:52 am

   Wayne, you have some excellent shows coming your way! You are quite lucky indeed. And I know I thought about it and then I thought of you and I knew you put it on your list so… That is my reasoning. :)

    A very happy 2008 to you, Dearest Rachel!! Yes, I know I’ve been scarce of late, but you must believe me that whenever I hear Beirut or see an armadillo, I think of you… :)

11. mjrc on January 5th, 2008 2:29 pm

    you know which one surprises me most? the arcade fire. i seem to remember you not being all that hot on them–they must have grown on you. :)

12. Rachel on January 6th, 2008 4:59 pm

    FiL, I know you are still around, us armadillos never stray too far :-)

    Marcy, I know Arcade Fire totally grew on me, which I knew it would. I just needed the hype to die down, but I consider it to be a solid album indeed in fact it made it over The Shins for me. I loved The Shins album when it first came out and then now I am not so hot for it. Go figure.

    Great list, Rachel. You have to be an emusic person. Whatever list would contain Andrew Bird and the Cinematic Orchestra! I love Bird’s Armchair Apocrypha. A totally unexpected find — playing it every day lately.

14. Rachel on January 8th, 2008 2:18 pm

    Thanks Angelo! I am totally an emusic person it is my life, I find 90% of the music I post while perusing the emusic site. :)

    Hi Rachel,
    Thanks for stopping by my list. I think I can guess that you disagreed with Arctic Monkeys! :-P But agreed with Andrew Bird and Radiohead.

    I’m really digging the Sharon Jones record right now…REALLY digging it

    Happy 2008!

16. tad on January 10th, 2008 2:45 pm

    oh and have you listened to the Six Parts Seven cd? it’s less guitar driven than EITS, but I thought it was just as full of feeling and emotion as All of a Sudden…

    oh, and did you ever get my email from a few months back? still interested in hearing what you’re up to!

17. Rachel on January 10th, 2008 3:39 pm

    Hey Tad!! Yeah glad to hear you like the Sharon Jones album it was a find on emusic, it is good stuff.

    I have not heard the Six Parts Seven album but thanks for the heads up I will have to check that out.

    I did get your e-mail I just have been really busy because I just started a new job so I am adjusting I will get back to you with all the happenings. :)

18. tad on January 10th, 2008 10:23 pm

    hi rachel,
    no problem, i knew you were crazy busy but just wanted to make sure you got it. i’ll look forward to hearing from you, and in the meantime if you get a chance you should REALLY check out The Diving Bell and the Butterfly…it is beautiful. simply amazing.

20. Rachel on January 14th, 2008 9:55 am

21. EF Matt on January 18th, 2008 4:28 pm

    YEAH Explosions in the Sky. that record did not get enough love for how flat out amazing it is.

22. Rachel on January 18th, 2008 5:46 pm

    My sentiments exactly. I love that album front to back it is amazing. Now if they would just come to LA already!

23. EF Matt on January 18th, 2008 6:22 pm

24. Rachel on January 23rd, 2008 9:57 pm
