I'm still going through yours for all the stuff I've never heard! I had more overlap with you than with anyone, I think.

A big, belated thanks for this list Omar! We have similar tastes with lots of overlap in favourites but I can always count on finding a few gems in your lists that totally flew under my radar (ie. Bugg, Michael Beach, Red Red Krovvy, Rank/Xerox, Obnox, Rata Negra, to name a few).

Great list too JimmyNoodles!

Cheers

Thanks! Glad you were able to find some new stuff from my list.  Andrew Earles recently reviewed the Michael Beach album:

Speaking of best records of the year, on this week's Sound Opinions the guys give enthusiastic thumbs up to The Super Chunks' new album. They also say nice things about their drummer.
