Jahfin Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Curious your thoughts on the results Jahfin. Thanks for asking. I'm just glad to see any publication (although No Depression is now online only) that gives their readers a chance to weigh in. Their list (along with several others) is also a reminder of several records from last year I still need to pick up. I'm still working on my best of lists from last year that I hope to post sometime in the not too distant future. Just for shits and grins, these are the albums I bought from last year that made the ND list: Hayes Carll, Trouble In Mind (Lost Highway) Drive-By Truckers, Brighter Than Creation's Dark (New West) Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson, Rattlin' Bones (Sugar Hill) James McMurtry, Just Us Kids (Lightning Rod) Lucinda Williams, Little Honey (Lost Highway) Bob Dylan, Tell Tale Signs: The Bootleg Series Vol. 8 (Columbia) Tift Merritt, Another Country (Fantasy) Old 97's, Blame It On Gravity (New West) Ryan Adams & the Cardinals, Cardinology (Lost Highway) Chris Knight, Heart Of Stone (Drifter's Church) R.E.M., Accelerate (Warner Bros.) Neil Young, Sugar Mountain: Live At Canterbury House 1968 (Reprise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Young, Sugar Mountain: Live At Canterbury House 1968 (Reprise) I'm really sorry the magazine is online only (although better than not at all!). I thought the list pretty well matched a lot of records I've seen you praise highly from the last year. Serves as a reminder to me of a lot of records I still need to pick up. I can't seem to keep up with it all! I need to win the lottery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to win the lottery In contrast to recent years, I didn't buy as much music this past year but that had more to do with my financial circumstances than the music itself. I've still been picking up some stuff here and there that I just never got around to in '08 such as the Old 97s and the Gaslight Anthem. I think it was also a really good year for reissues/archival material with the remastered Murmur and the recent installments in both Neil and Dylan's respective archival series. In case you missed 'em on Letterman last Friday, here's a clip of the Gaslight Anthem doing The '59 Sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With me it's a combination of financial and my list is just so huge between new releases, older stuff I never got etc. Little by little I'll tackle it!

Jahfin Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'm always keeping my eye for bargains. Oftentimes I can find promo copies of brand new stuff in the used section of the local record store. Also, I try to catch new releases on sale. I think that Gaslight Anthem disc was only something like $11.99 which isn't bad. The used discs can go for as little as a dollar and is a good way of checking out artists I may not otherwise take a chance on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon often has cds around at or maybe 13.99 which isn't too bad until you multiply that by the number of cds I want to purchase at any given time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
