Re: Best of 2007

Living with the Living might get a 6th spot, but I couldn't really think of 10 albums that really stood out.

Re: Best of 2007

I'd seriously suggest that anyone should pick up Andy Palacio's "Watina" album. It's chock full of amazing Garifuna music, and he's Belizean, so I'm obligated to big him up.

The album has made it on several "Best of 2007" lists worldwide. And deservedly so.

Re: Best of 2007

I'm terrible when it comes to actually knowing when things came out, is that weird?

I'll second Beirut's The Flying Club Cup, and Okkervil River's The Stage Names as being fantastic albums, though.

You can hear the entire album, and see a bunch of unique live performances of The Flying Club Cup here: http://flyingclubcup.com/spip.php?rubrique1

Movies, from what I saw in no particular order:

No Country For Old Men
Rescue Dawn
Superbad & Knocked Up
Eastern Promises
Sicko
Zodiac
The Host

I think those all came out in 2007. I also saw Blade Runner: The Final Cut, and it was one of the most beautifully shot films I've ever had the pleasure to look upon.

Na, just a list of all the movies I've watched over the year. Too lazy to divide the good and bad.

Re: Best of 2007

Cool, because that makes sense in a topic titled Best of 2007.
