hi rachel,
no problem, i knew you were crazy busy but just wanted to make sure you got it. i’ll look forward to hearing from you, and in the meantime if you get a chance you should REALLY check out The Diving Bell and the Butterfly…it is beautiful. simply amazing.

Hey Tad!! Yeah glad to hear you like the Sharon Jones album it was a find on emusic, it is good stuff.

I have not heard the Six Parts Seven album but thanks for the heads up I will have to check that out.

I did get your e-mail I just have been really busy because I just started a new job so I am adjusting I will get back to you with all the happenings. :)

oh and have you listened to the Six Parts Seven cd? it’s less guitar driven than EITS, but I thought it was just as full of feeling and emotion as All of a Sudden…

oh, and did you ever get my email from a few months back? still interested in hearing what you’re up to!

Hi Rachel,
Thanks for stopping by my list. I think I can guess that you disagreed with Arctic Monkeys! :-P But agreed with Andrew Bird and Radiohead.

I’m really digging the Sharon Jones record right now…REALLY digging it

Happy 2008!

Thanks Angelo! I am totally an emusic person it is my life, I find 90% of the music I post while perusing the emusic site. :)

Great list, Rachel. You have to be an emusic person. Whatever list would contain Andrew Bird and the Cinematic Orchestra! I love Bird’s Armchair Apocrypha. A totally unexpected find — playing it every day lately.

FiL, I know you are still around, us armadillos never stray too far :-)

Marcy, I know Arcade Fire totally grew on me, which I knew it would. I just needed the hype to die down, but I consider it to be a solid album indeed in fact it made it over The Shins for me. I loved The Shins album when it first came out and then now I am not so hot for it. Go figure.

you know which one surprises me most? the arcade fire. i seem to remember you not being all that hot on them–they must have grown on you. :)

A very happy 2008 to you, Dearest Rachel!! Yes, I know I’ve been scarce of late, but you must believe me that whenever I hear Beirut or see an armadillo, I think of you… :)

Wayne, you have some excellent shows coming your way! You are quite lucky indeed. And I know I thought about it and then I thought of you and I knew you put it on your list so… That is my reasoning. :)

I am seeing Andrew Bird tomorrow in Sydney. Then Explosions in the Sky and Beirut tour next month, how lucky am I? Nice list, although I would have found room for Sunset Rubdown.
