what i'm listening to lately
I'm going to try to put more into my various blogging categories this year. Here's a start with something in the "personal stuff" category.
In 2007 I broke out of some of my old music habits and started listening to a number of new (to me) acts. Here's a partial list, and in no particular order, of the artists I've added to my regular listening collection this last year.
The New Pornographers*
Spoon
Arcade Fire*
Stars*
Bishop Allen
Sloan*
New Ruins
The Call-Up*
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Wolf Parade*
The 1900s
Immaculate Machine*
Broken Social Scene*
Thao (Nguyen) with The Get Down Stay Down
The Evaporators*
Feist*
The Eames Era
The National
Metric*
*One thing that's kind of interesting about the list is the outright dominance of Canadian artists, something I didn't notice until just as I was putting it together.
reactions, thoughts, comments, etc.

There's some good stuff on your list that I know, I might check out some of the stuff that I don't know yet :)

You've got to listen to Okkervil River's ''The Stage Names'' (Harp Magazine's #1 album of the year). You can stream it for free on their official website.
