		<description><![CDATA[It took me a month to listen to and process the latest Midlake record before I felt qualified to speak objectively about “The Courage of Others.” I would have to go back to Buckley’s stunning “Grace” fifteen years ago to find another record as important to me as Midlake’s predecessor “The Trials of Van Occupanther.” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There seemed to be fewer films that will stand the test of time this year than in the past, but that is not to say there weren’t a handful of gems. For me the most important filmic discovery was jaw dropping accessibility provided by Netflix “Watch Now.” I started the year with a Roku box, which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To say Dirty Projectors is an acquired taste would be both a probable understatement and disrespectful to the band. This is the kind of music that only happens when a kid from Yale with a big vocabulary, great taste in music and a broad musical education decides to make indie rock records. The result is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[


Inevitably every year I fall hard for a record that manages to further reinvent that hazy, melodic Brian Wilson mid-60’s California glow. This year the debut from San Francisco’s “Girls” rips that page up, and then reassembles it into a glorious, grungy scrapbook of freedom and loss. The band is the primary brainchild of Christopher [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Neko Case is a true force of nature. Her voice is among the most confident and controlled in music today. It has been for the past decade as she has continually honed her craft somewhere between country and pop, both as a solo artist and the occasional “soul” behind the super group the New Pornographers.

		<description><![CDATA[I love the Scandinavian folkies: Kings of Convenience, Sondra Lerche, Jose Gonzalez and Nicoli Dunger. But Loney, Dear’s latest effort transcends the genre and morphs into something quite different and special. Think The Postal Service, but stronger, much more urgent and less shallow-synth sounding.  If the older Loney records were sparer, more acoustic seeming, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Man, the older I get the more I tend to fall for really great folkies. I blame my early fascination with Donovan and Nick Drake for that, but they also helped me understand what a great folk record should be about.

		<description><![CDATA[In some ways it is frustrating being a film fanatic these days. For the first three quarters of the year, good studio films slowly drip into the market, with most of them held back until December so they remain fresh when the Award season begins.
