Wow, this is an amazing list! I want to go out and get all of these albums tat do do not have! I really like Lissy Trullie and Xx a lot and have never heard of them before. I like The Big Pink more and more every time I listen to them.
Forgetting ‘Far’ is understandable; I think it should just be assumed to be on every best of ’09 compilation made this year
‘Part 2′ would be awesome!
Hey lady, love your list. I got a little lazy and never made one, but The Antlers were definitely at the top. If you haven’t spent some time with it, I highly recommend it. Lots of love.
