Califone
Roots & Crowns
A while back, a friend of mine told me about this band Califone he saw opening a show for Wilco. "They were the best band of the night".
Having a hard time grappling with that, I bought this record and...wow.

Howe Gelb
'Sno Angel Like You
(Ex-Giant Sand) Howe Gelb's solo record:sortof Lou Reed meets Tom Waits...or something. Nice.
Centro-Matic
Fort Recovery
I read this internet-bit about Will Johnson meeting Will Sheff (Okkervil River) who had a Proust "Remembrance of Things Past" book tucked under his armpit at a Centro-matic show. I bought this record just because of that story. According to my I-Tunes playcount, I listened to this a lot.I call this: alt.drive-by-truckers meets Neil Y.'s Crazy Horse, on steroids.

wheres the sonic youth you liked in the summer?
yeah, it didn't last the year. (though there are some great songs on it)
Check out The CodeTalkers latest: 'Now'. Funky American roots stuff meets organ jazz meets just plain weirdness. Great tunes like: "Victor the Snakeman." Damn hot players. It's my pick 'O the year by far.
