Hey Claf....speaking of Hakon Kornstad.....just found this(connected to the Kornstad site)
Wibutee
http://www.wibutee.net/ ...a collaboration with Kornstad and couple other musicians. Great mix of electronics and live jazz musics.

My turn, best of '07. I'm not gonna have any surprises I don't think , but i'll give it a shot

In no particular order:
Iron & Wine - The Shepard's Dog

Laiiiiiiiid back hippie music that I just cant seem to get enough of.

Resurection (live) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LyAg04So98

Modest Mouse - We were dead before the ship even sank

Lots of sound here to, one of the best IMO.

Kevin Smith - Spirit if...


This guy was in K.C. Accidental (great full ambient) then Broken Social Scene (baroque pop) [both amazing] and now his solo. Also the BF of Feist, who can wail nice too. This whole album gots lots of energy and i recommend

Lucky ones-

Elliot Smith - New Moon
Earlimart - Mentor Tormentor
Shins - Wincing the night away

Of course after i post i find a legit one:

Click on "Eight Domestic Challenges"
... their best album IMO.
Also, the "Gitlat" video is interesting...

Yeah...Great album...great band!! I can't believe that one slipped my mind


So much music ,so few brain cells left so that's why they seemed familiar.

Another of my 2007 faves.

For those of you that have recently dug Animal Collective, be sure to check out Panda Bear's "Person Pitch" (he is one of 4 that makes up A.C. )
Bros
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GQCVOLbRU8

I like that quite a bit! ...with those harmonies on that one I'm pretty much think'n Brian Wilson but in kindof an echo haze (for lack of better description at the moment).

Very true, I like Panda Bear, they have that classic sound
same song live, "Bros"
