I’ve been so slack lately so here’s a bunch of contenders for my consideration at the end of the year…

#4 Nina Nastasia – On Leaving
On Leaving
Buy On Leaving from Amazon.com
Another superb album – that makes four in a row.

#5 Yo La Tengo – I Am Not Afraid of You…
I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
Buy I Am Not Afraid of You… from Amazon.com
An album that pretty much squeezes the Yo La Tengo experience into a single package – a balance between the quiet and the angry, the twee and the heavy, the smart and the silly…

#6 Fiel Garvie – Caught Laughing
Caught Laughing
Buy Caught Laughing from Amazon.com

#7 Sparklehorse – Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain
Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain
Buy Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain from Amazon.com
More of the very lovely same from Sparklehorse.
