Just wondering, did you have any joy with the Dieter tunes? We're aiming to get an October release for Dieter Schöön's album Lablaza over by your way. Is it an album you'd be interested in reviewing? You know others who might like to review it? So far the album's had good reviews from the scandinavian press (check links at www.uncle-elmer.com) but would be good to get more english reviews for it. Thanks, Carl Hi Spencer,

Maybe I'll leave that part for the year end list.

How's the list for 2008 looking? I have a contender for you anyway..... another Swede infact. Dieter Schöön and his album Lablaza. It's being given a release this year outside of Sweden which is where Dieter is from. I am totally overwhelmed by it and thought you might enjoy it too. Here's the link to his myspace: www.myspace.com/dieterschoon Let me know what you think & if you want a link to the album. All the best, Carl Hi Spencer,

That said - she can't go on the way she has been, if she does, you won't have to worry about her being around much longer.

I actually will go back to say the best of 2004 list and see what I liked back then and see how I feel now. Sometimes it's surprising. Anyway - I've already realized I forgot to put the White Stripes Icky Thump on this list. It would deserve a pretty high spot too - but as you said, the aging process causes you to forget sometimes. BTW - I purposely leave off any greatest hits albums and albums not released in the proper year, so that explains Michael's album not being on the list. I need to do a list of my top finds of 2007. Some good ones in there. I kind of do the list to help me remember. I actually will go back to say the best of 2004 list and see what I liked back then and see how I feel now.

If you figure in the new recordings of old songs, I guess it kinda qualifies for this kind of list. Fav track is probably the new version of "Cupid's Got a Brand New Gun." But also found myself mesmerized by the instrumental "Barely A Sound," which was unexpected, since I'm usually a lyric-oriented kind of girl. Most of '07 is kinda a blur for me at this point (beware the aging process, Spencer, as it is most unkind to one's grey matter) so I'm afraid I've nothing else substantial to add in the way of great '07 CDs. I think you hit all the high points.

It was written after 9/11 and the unrelated near death of one of the band members. It's also much more of a political album - which the got away from with the latest release.

I'm surprised at the Travis album. I had given up after their third one. Will have to give them a listen. I meant to get that Albert Hammond, Jr. album and kept forgetting.
