This Week's CDs (11/17-21)
Went on a buying spree this weekend. The following will hopefully keep me occupied till Christmas:
Beulah - The Coast Is Never Clear
Beulah - Yoko
Flake Music - When You Land Here, It's Time to Return
The Fire Theft
Grandaddy - A Pretty Mess by This One Band
Grandaddy - Under the Western Freeway
Grandaddy - Signal to Snow Ratio
Super Furry Animals - Guerilla
Tripping Daisy - Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb
The Thrills - So Much for the City
The Format - Interventions and Lullibies
For those who don't know, after they recorded When You Land Here..., Flake Music changed their name to the Shins. Good album. The only disc listed here I'm not caring for so far is the Format disc...a bit too slick for my tastes. Really dig the Thrills so far though.
QOTD: The end of the year is almost here...what are the best albums you've purchased this year?
For me, 2003 was one of the best years musically in recent memory. I've been buying a ton and nearly all of it's been good. Among the best...
My Morning Jacket - It Still Moves
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
moe. - Wormwood
Crooked Fingers - Red Devil Dawn
Super Furry Animals - Phantom Power
Drive By Truckers - Decoration Day
Hieroglyphics - Full Circle
Fountains of Wayne - Welcome Interstate Managers
Beulah - The Coast Is Never Clear
Beulah - Yoko
Flake Music - When You Land Here, It's Time to Return
The Fire Theft
Grandaddy - A Pretty Mess by This One Band

Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People
Fountains of Wayne - Welcome Interstate Managers
Guster - Lost and Gone Forever
Metric - Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?
R.E.M. - Murmur
New Pornographers - Mass Romantic
Strokes - Is This It
AOTD: I'd need to think about it some more (the question needs its own thread at some point), but CDs that would definitely be on my list include...
New Pornographers - Electric Version
Fountains of Wayne - Welcome Interstate Managers
Jayhawks - Rainy Day Music
Kathleen Edwards - Failer
There are some (BSS, Metric, The Rapture) that'll probably end up on my list after I listen to 'em a few more times, some (Shins, Strokes) that'll probably end up on my list after I get them sometime in 2004, and some (Guster's Lost and Gone Forever, Dixie Chicks' Home) that I got this year and really liked but are 2002 albums.

David Bowie, Hunky Dory
Frog Eyes, The Golden River
British Sea Power, The Decline of British Sea Power
Beulah, Yoko
Jolie Holland, Catalpa
Erase Errata, At Crystal Palace
Explosions in the Sky, The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place
I Am Kloot, I Am Kloot
Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn & Ginger Brooks Takahashi, Songs from the Black Mountain Project
Sam Prekop, Sam Prekop
Young People, War Prayers
Manitoba, Up In Flames
The first three are what I'm listening to today; I'm projecting the others because I've had a hankering for them lately.
I can't make a definite list yet -though I have thought about it a lot- but the 2k3 albums that have really been "doing it" for me are...
The Rapture, Echoes
Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Fever to Tell
Ex Models, Zoo Psychology
Jolie Holland, Catalpa
Xiu Xiu, A Promise
Deerhoof, Apple 'O
King Geedorah, Take Me To Your Leader
Parts and Labor, Groundswell
There have been many albums that grew on me after I first heard them (Frog Eyes, Manitoba, Sole, Luomo, British Sea Power, etc), a few that may end up on a top ten list once I spend more time w/ them (The Star Spangles, Mirah, Young People, I Am Kloot, Basement Jaxx), and an offensively large number that I like but may or may not prove good enough to include on a year-end list (Metric, The Stills, Angels of Light, Stars, The New Pornographers, Enon, KC Accidental, The Strokes, The Shins, etc, etc). Basically, what I'm trying to tell you is that I'm still waffling back and forth about which ones I like the most. The only 3 I can guarantee will make my list are The Rapture, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Jolie Holland.
-edit-
Don't even make me get into the 2k2 albums that I didn't find until this year: Hella, Giddy Motors, Calexico, Out Hud, Broken Social Scene...

Jay-Z - The Black Album
Basement Jaxx - Kish Kash
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
Mr. Lif - I Phantom
Matmos - A Chance to Cut is a Chance to Cure
Steve Reich - Music for Eighteen Musicians
Explosions in the Sky - Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die
This year the new Outkast record is the only thing I'm positive about on my top-10. Too much other good stuff and I've still missed quite a bit.

Pernice Brothers - Australia Tour EP 2002
Yo La Tengo - Today is the Day
Handsome Family - Singing Bones
VA - Matinee 50!
VA - Wig in a Box
Metric - Old World Underground...
Sufjan Stevens - Michigan
Rosebuds - Make Out
Everything I read about Michigan told me that it was going to evoke a definitive Michigan feel. I think the power of suggestion goes a long way, because I'm not getting a Michigan feel out of the music. Now, lyrically, there's another story. I am, however, enjoying this CD a lot. Semi-orchestral, thinky-jazzy rock.
The Rosebuds are currently rocking my car right now -- playing them on my PC speakers at work did them no justice. I like the straight-ahead rocking, and, as a result, I'm enjoying this one.
QoTD
Agreed about 2003 being a high water mark for the recent past.
My list so far:
Belle & Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress
Dump - A Grown-Ass Man
Hidden Cameras, the - The Smell of Our Own
Mates of State - Team Boo
Minus 5 - Down with Wilco
Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn & Ginger Brooks Takahashi - Songs from the Black Mountain Music Project
Okkervil River - Down the River of Broken Dreams
Postal Service - Such Great Heights
Saturday Looks Good to Me - All Your Summer Songs
Skating Club - Bugs and Flowers
Summer At Shatter Creek - ST
In case anyone cares, I've added a Year field to my CD database. Makes compiling lists like this much easier, although it took me a few hours to go back through the DB and add dates.
And speaking of managing media, I'm strongly leaning towards getting a filing cabinet-type storage solution. Anybody have a cheaper alternative to www.can-am.ca ? I'm currently in contact with an ebay seller that has a similar and cheaper product, but I'm still looking at ~$600 shipped to store my stuff.

Stevevt and anyone else that picked up one of these, thoughts on Hedwig and Metric? And oh yeah, I really enjoy Belle and Sebastian's latest - best they've done since The Boy With the Arab Strap as far as I'm concerned.

I haven't spent enough time listening to either, but I'm enjoying them both so far. The Metric CD struck me as kinda average on the first play, but has subsequently started to grow on me.
So. No thoughts on CD filing cabinet storage? (See my previous post in this thread.)

Today's spins:
+/- - You are Here
Beck - Mutations
The Damnwells - Bastards of the Beat
Dolorean - Not Exotic
Early Day Miners - Jefferson at Rest
Felt - Forever Breathes the Lonely Word
Lambchop - Nixon
The Minders - The Future is Always Perfect
Okkervil River - Don't Fall in Love with Everyone you See
Pedro the Lion - It's Hard to Find a Friend

Sufjan Stevens - Greetings from Michigan
Just received in the mail:
Ida (w/ Low/His Name is Alive/The Secret Stars) - Angel Hall
Ben Davis - Aided & Abetted
The Impossible Shapes - We Like it Wild
stevevt: Thanks for filling me in on those two albums. As you can see from my listenings today, I picked up the Sufjan Stevens CD, and I'm totally digging it. It touches on the "His Name is Alive-style Michigan sound," but should be regarded as an original sound in its own right. Great cd! I'll probably pick up that Rosebuds CD sometime this week. As for those CD storage cabinets you're looking at, I was considering getting a couple of the same ones myself. In the record store I used to work at, we had about 6 of those, which we used for backroom overstock. I don't recall the price we got them at, or where we got them from, but I'll find out and let you know.
A "short" list of my albums of the year, off the top of my head (in alphabetical order; I'm sure I left a bunch out):
Ryan Adams - Love is Hell, Pt. 1
The Band of Blacky Ranchette - Still Lookin' Good to Me
Belle and Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress
Beulah - Yoko
Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Master and Everyone
The Clientele - The Violet Hour
Robyn Hitchcock - Luxor
Holopaw - Holopaw
Damien Jurado - Where Shall You Take Me?
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Hearts of Oak
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
Songs: Ohia - Magnolia Electric Co.
Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway
Super Furry Animals - Phantom Power
The Thrills - So Much for the City
Tindersticks - Waiting for the Moon
M. Ward - Transfiguration of Vincent
Paul Westerberg - Come Feel Me Tremble
