Yours is the best. Brand new Book is the fulcrum of his career...you explain it well. I guess it takes a great review or a semi-bad one to get a rise out of the guy...let's get him off the slopes and into a studio and stop this talk about never producing another note.

Sorry, Sam, but I'm gonna have to turn down my "Best Collaboration with Engelbert Humperdinck" award. That thing frightens me.

As noted in the Platinum Awards post, I love the Winehouse CD, too. I think it was in my top 3, along with The Good, the Bad & the Queen. The Feist CD fails to hit me like it did a lot of other folks. I listened to it. I tried to like it. But in the end it struck me as sort of ... how to express this best? ... an okay effort despite being an example of what's not so compelling about "indie" these days? I felt like the New Pornographers did a lot better job working that vein. That said, a lot of people I respect I disagree with me on this, and now I know you're one of them. And hell, your opinion on the Winehouse (which you noted in our interview) almost caused me to rate her over you. So your opinion is greatly respected around here... :) <i>What does my award look like?</i> <img src="http://www.lullabypit.com/images/the_slammy.jpg" border=1 title="" > Make all the copies you like.

Horse, cart.... Besides, as much as you like the Macca disc, I haven't heard you make the argument that it was the BEST CD of 2007.

Horse, cart….

Besides, as much as you like the Macca disc, I haven’t heard you make the argument that it was the BEST CD of 2007.

No matter how critically fair and balanced you've been, people are gonna say you're schmoozing a personal fave. This is a great album and a worthy recipient of this somewhat dubious honor. ;-)
