From that list, my favorite is The Antlers cd. Another great release from 2009 was the debut from "The xx." The Matt and Kim cd is also good. Not to mention The Big Pink's debut.

I just like making lists.

My tastes are a little all over the place, but here's what I've been listening to lately:

Laura Veirs - July Flame
Dave Rawlings Machine - A Friend of a Friend
tUnE-yarDs - BiRd-BrAINs
Amy Millan - Honey From the Tombs (a few years old, but really good)
Steve Earle - Townes
Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions - Through the Devil Softly
Rae Spoon - Superioryourareinferior
Owen Pallett - Heartland
One Hundred Dollars - Forest of Tears

As for older stuff, if you haven't listened to much Patti Smith, DO. Get Horses or Radio Ethiopia or Easter.

Thanks everyone! Looks like I'll have some downloading to get to.

And it's been ages since I've been to a concert (last one was Foo Fighters + Hot Hot Heat in LBC, CA years ago...).
