Hooray for Spoon, Arcade Fire, Feist, etc.!

Awesome post - I can't wait to check out what everyone else has been listening to!

I noticed that we are such a diverse group of music listeners! That's great. I have already began to check out a lot of this stuff as well.

Tim H has great taste...and apparently little patience! :)

Damn - submitted my own list but was not included... Why does LAist hate me? =) ©

Wow, El Chapo de Sinaloa. Instant paisa cred!

I had to put down the CDs I listen to in the house, because I've been listening to all of your party CDs in the car. Especially Michelle!
