I guess... This year I really liked:

'All Hands On The Bad One' by Sleater-Kinney

'Brave New World' by Iron Maiden

'Lingo Lingo' by Barbaros Erköse Ensemble

'More Happy Moments' by Hoven Droven

'Vu-Du Menz' by Corey Harris and Henry Butler

'Baba Yaga' by Annbjørg Lien

'Nariits Biilge' by Ensemble Altai-Hangai

'The Complete Vanguard Recordings' by Big Mama Thornton


...those are pretty much the only cds that came out this year that I bought. Mostly bought pre-2000 cds this year, for some reason. Weird.

But when I'm driving a long ways (7000km is, like, a long ways, right?) and start getting tired, I usually play a LaVern Baker cd, or 'God Bless Satan' by Mephiskapheles. They keep me awake, somehow.
