Sambassadeur – s/t

The Magic Numbers – s/t
My Morning Jacket – Z
would've been on my list, but it's collected from his two UK albums:

The Wedding Present – Take Fountain -- "Interstate 5" is a tremendously good
song

2005 EP’s
1. The Brokedown – The Dutchman’s Gold

2004 CD’s purchased in 2005 that I really like

Kent's albums sung in Swedish better.

4. John Hoskinson – Miscellaneous Heathen -- thanks, audities!
5. The Tragically Hip – In Between Evolution
