Everybody's doing it, right? I don't pretend to be hip or edgy or rebellious. I mean, I grew up on Billy Joel and Madonna and Motown and then the Gen Xer's basic dichotomy of KROQ versus Top 40 in the 90s. I find it increasingly harder to fall in love with albums in the downloading age, and am one of those people who obsessively compiles mixed cds for friends and iPod playlists full of individual tracks from a broad sampling of artists. The three places I'm most thankful for getting me turned on to new music would be my fellow LAisters, the awesome site 3hive, and good ol' KCRW. So without further ado, here are my pics for the 2007 releases I most enjoyed:

The Hives - "Tick Tick Boom" The Hives @ The Avalon The Hold Steady, Art Brut @ Henry Fonda Architecture in Helsinki, Glass Candy @ Troubadour The Thrills, Small Sins, Rock and Roll @ Spaceland Julio Iglesias @ Gibson Dos @ Alex's Bar Tunng @ Amoeba Hannah Montana @ Staples Cue the Moon @ Silverlake Lounge HoneyHoney, Whispertown2000, Buddy @ Hotel Cafe She Wants Revenge, Kenna, The Start @ Grove of Anaheim Freezepop, Solvent,...

It never ceases to amaze LAist that no matter how much goes on in this city, more things pop up every day. We hope that you're all taking advantage of the opportunities presented by living in such a vast and interesting city, such as those featured below.
