While its true that the Deerhoof and Of Montreal are slated for 2007, I have been listening to these releases so much this month that I feel it is justifiable to include them in the music I have been listening to most.

Perhaps I should be more purist about these things but really…when it hits my eardrums, thats when it enters my consciousness. Release dates be damned.

Todd,

The Drift is not dissimilar to reading poetry in the sense that its just abstract words on a page if you arent ready for it…but when you ARE in the receptive mood for what its saying—it hits you. Yet its so personal, and more a confrontation with something mysterious, something one doesnt understand rather than anything as banal as a recognition of your own views within it.
Its hard to listen to. Give it time.

I dont know if its great music, but it is interesting in an era where there is so little that falls under that moniker.

Its something I cant even put on best of-mixes, for its sui generis.

Solid line-up. I’ll have to revisit that Scott Walker album – it’s almost too haunting for me to listen to regularly, and too intense to listen to casually.

Nice list. I can’t argue with much of it.
