Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........

Wobbler - Rites At Dawn (prog rock from Norway)
Motif - Facienda (avant-garde jazz also from Norway)

Okay,

Okay, I spun up Sarah J for the first time today, on the recommendation of half of A'gon's members. Is she the unholy offspring of Alison Krauss and Suzanne Vega? Or is there another comp that works better to describe her style?

I definitely need some time to digest this, but there's clearly something goin' on on this CD.

Neil Young's Treasure.

Treasure is an excellent live performance from Neil Young's underrated early '80s archive. Unfortunately the CD sounds closed in and not much better than bootleg quality. Does the expensive three-sided LP sound any better?

I'm listening to Zero 7. I believe this is Sia's first band and if you don't know who Sia is, then go backward from this jewel.

Very melodic, easy going but nice recording and a great find.
