i love this list...i agree with most (for the ones i know). i am thinking of any that i might want to add. i guess i would add jens lekman "post card to nina" and maybe bright eyes "coat check dream song" off the top of my head and the first song on scout niblett's record. BTW, LOVE the photo on your profile. a mixture of a few good things: gorillas (endandgered), child costumes, sofia coppola and champagne. so basically your picture says: i'm not too serious and i'm uo for a PARTY! which i think is pretty accurate.
That's so weird that you wrote those two songs, because there were only 5 other songs that I had on the list at some point and the last two that I ended up taking off (very reluctantly) were Jens Lekman's "Postcard to Nina" and Bright Eyes' "Coat Check Dream Song."
Just as an FYI, the other three were: Bat For Lashes' "What's a Girl To Do?", Blonde Redhead's "Top Ranking" (both taken off because I thought maybe I liked them more because I liked the videos that accompanied those songs) and Sea Wolf's "I Made a Resolution."
Love the list and the Ryan Adams support! RAFC forever.
Maybe I will get a RAFC tattoo to celebrate the new year. You should too.
I think Ryan also wins a Most Prolific of 2007 award.
