Comment:

A late addition to the series...and...I'm not done yet :), volume 15 is almost done, too. Also I'm already thinking about 2006 as I already own 4 records with a release date this year. OK... 1. from Sambassadeur (Labrador), 2. from Rocket D.I.Y. (Fence), 3. from Hither And Thither (North East Indie), 4. from Oh You're So Silent Jens (Secretly Canadian), 5. from The Brave And The Bold (Overcoat - Domino), 6. from Beyond Reinforced Jewel Case (5RC), 7. from The Enemy Of Love (Merge), 8. from Bluffer's Guide To The Flight Deck (Pointy - Misra), 9. from Hilken Mancini And Chris Colbourn (Kimchee), 10. from Stay Close (North East Indie), 11. from Spectacular Of Passages (The Social Registery), 12. from Whatever You Bring We Sing (Homesleep), 13. from Martha Wainwright (V2 - Zoe), 14. from The Lone Gunman (Retrophonic), 15. from Stem Stem In Electro (Constellation), 16. from Berserker (Paw Tracks), 17. from The Swimmer EP (Western Vinyl), 18. from The Fast Rise And Fall Of The South (Yep Roc)

Very nice, ive found at least 5 albums in December that have thrown my end of year mix plans into chaos, but I reckon ill be using that King Creosote track as well, and quite a few of these artists. Love that Midwest record btw.

Sambassadeur, Jens Lekman and, of course, Kingsbury Manx are always great.
