Anyway, good call on Black Mountain. The album is sick in 40 different ways. Don't make me name them! With your permission, i will be using the word “ear boner” on a daily basis.

I sent it in as is half expecting to get it back with a "10 is the limit" slap on the wrist. The funny thing is that I think my list has already changed. As much as I loved the albums on the list...there are a a bunch that nearly made it and now may have moved in. Erik- rules are meant to be broken, right??

You´re all biased anyways. Oh, I will admit that Jenny Lewis album wasn´t Super terrific or anything, but I thought it was pretty good. At least I had a female artist in my list you sexist pig ;) Whatever Chris – You guys can all go listen to your Dear Science and leave me alone. You´re all biased anyways.

I don´t have a good reason but it seemed like the right thing to do... Kyle, I had that thought about including Kahn as well, but decided to include it anyways…well, just because I wanted to I guess.

Dig Lazarus, Dig!!! at #1, instead of #2... and the lack of inclusion of the other 9 albums on my list. I don't know what that guy's thinking.
