-I seriously must be living in some privileged neighborhood or someone knows how to grease some palms around here... I just saw a grader clear the very, very miniscule amount of snow from the roads. Plus it was super packed down so driving was actually pretty decent.

The Top Ten Daily Consequences of Having Evolved

Thanks for the suggestions, folks. It should help liven up the playlist.

And Beck, even though I know you were writing about the XKCD comic, I think "At Home With the Heisenbergs" could make for a good album title. Well, maybe...hmm...now I'm not sure...

I'm definately with Tony on "High Velvet." Runners up, in no particular order: "So Runs the World Away" by Josh Ritter, "Transferance" by Spoon, and Jakob Dylan's "Women and Country."

Having said that, there's an excellent chance that I haven't heard anything that was released past summer.

The "At home with the Heisenbergs" really cracked me up

I've posted samples of a few artist I've picked up this year on this board.

My choice would be:

Wild Beast- Two Dancers

Actually a 2009 album but didn't hear of them until this year.

I think I need some more music. I haven't bought cds since folk fest this summer.

My vote: the Avett Brothers' I and Love and You
But that's only of what I remember right now, and my music sample size this year has been rather skewed towards folk and alt-country.

i.e. I may change my mind in a day or two. ;)
