1. "Awaiting On You All" - George Harrison
2. The Cowsills - live at Central Presbyterian Church @ SXSW - Incredible vocals and a really infectious joy for music
3. "Tragedy" - The Wipers
4. The Lemonheads - live at Emo's Annex @ SXSW - doing "It's A Shame About Ray" in its entirety. Honestly, they didn't even play that well, but it was great to hear those songs again. Certainly one of my all-time favorite records
5. Cherry People - "And Suddenly" - whenever I get around to my "Greatest D.C. songs of All Time" list, this'll be on there
6. Montage - "Grand Pianist" - Michael Brown's project after the Left Banke. The feathery production on this is incredible.
7. My pursuit of every single issue of Bomp! Magazine from the 70s. I've already got a few, so if you're selling, let me know. I'm also looking for any of the Bomp! Books, too. I'm not sure when this happened, but I'm turning into a collector.
8. The Ricky Gervais DVD box set. Not available in the U.S. for some reason, but this collects all three of his stand-up shows ("Animals," "Politics" and "Fame"). So unbelievably funny and it brightened up our dreary drives all over the UK when were on tour there a couple months back.
9. ABBA - German TV clips collection DVD I found at a record store in Belgium. As if I didn't already love this band enough, seeing Benny get so into "Mamma Mia" only deepens my affection for this lot.
10. The Paul Collins Beat - live at Soho Lounge @ SXSW - not as mind-blowing as last year (which was the first time I'd seen them), but still amazing. Being in a room where everyone is so happy to be there is just the kind of place I want to be. Wish he's had time for "Walking Out On Love," but I can't really complain too much. Definitely a musical hero.
