Lucinda Williams' new album, West, is just out.
She did it with Hal Wilner! Cool for cats.
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
In a similar vein, Patty Griffin also has a relatively new album and it is also getting rave reviews.

I didn't do one here, but this link has my top 20 albums at the bottom: [link]
Sidenote: The songs in the new Hugh Grant/Drew Barrymore romantic comedy, Music and Lyrics, were written by Adam Schlessinger of Fountains of Wayne.
I don't think we did do any. But I've still been thinking about it. Maybe we have some distance from 06 and can do it now?
All things considered, I\'d rather be in Philadelphia [link]

I saw a Secret Cinema show when it traveled out to SF. Cool stuff.
A handful of us did best of 2006-lists.
