Good list. I've never heard of Kamikaze Hearts. RIYL?

wasnt we are scientists a 2005 release....i believe that disc was in my top 20 last year

Self-released record from a band out of Albany, NY. Four part harmonies, accordions, keyboards, upright bass, mandolin. Very, very nice. RIYL: Iron & Wine, Shins, Sufjan, Mountain Goats. "No One Called You A Failure" is brilliant.

That's because you are the man and listen to records six months before anyone else get them. This was released January 2006.

sounds cool

Hey, you didn't put your list in the shmoo poll Dan!

Oh wait, maybe you did. I just didn't see "Head Like A Kite" in the pull down, but it was your number 21, so you wouldn't have needed to add it.

Just heard Kamikaze Hearts today. Good stuff.

on emusic

i was told to check out a Kamikaze Hearts show when i get the chance a while ago, but haven't yet. will try to remedy that.

whoa...now that is weird - and here i thought i was late to the game with that record

is was #3 on my top 10 of 2005 list....GREAT RECORD regardless

nice list, you & i have the same #1.... cuz hot chip RULES.

also, you're the only the other person i've seen with 120 days on their list. was #9 on my list.

#7 - human television, how is that record? i saw them at spaceland at some point during the summer last year and they were great, but i never got around to checking out that album.
