I think it works better as novelty, but it's still pretty wicked. People don't care about buying music, but they'll buy shirts with a band's name on it to show off. I personally think the lantern is killer.

Mr. Oberst decided that more people wanted to hear him in Croatia and Czech Republic than in the South East of America. That's very logical.

Does the guy controlling the camera shots for the performance have ADHD? So many pointless cuts.

I really like this feature. Since most of these magazines were printed before I was born, it's like a nice history lesson.

Nonesuch is owned by WB, so no 69 Love Songs or Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.
I'm Wide Awake is the mature and coherent Bright Eyes album and was real surprise, but it didn't define the year. But neither did Z.
I agree with TV on the Radio for 2006.
GaX5 just isn't substantial enough to be included. It feels forced. The National? Of Montreal? Animal Collective? There were so many great records from last year, why settle for one that is slightly less? It's too bad Person Pitch was a solo record.
Radiohead makes sense for 2008 because that's when In Rainbows got a "street date," but still, do we need a record to define this year when we're just three months in? Maybe it's because Radiohead has "changed the model" and it's going to affect this year in a way it couldn't affect last year (since it was released in December). Putting In Rainbows for 2008 is still a scam though.

Why don't you post their Florida shows with the Fiery Furnaces? You forgot to do it the last time you posted their itinerary too.
