My top ten of the year is, so far, just a top six. But in my book that means 2007 has been a pretty fantastic year for new music. Thus far, only my #1 pick seems unassailable; the remaining albums are all still jockeying for final position; I reccomend them all equally.
I won't bore you with more longwinded posts. Today, just a list, an mp3, and links to things I've said previously. Check back tomorrow for a look at what's still to come before 2007 is over.
1. Andrew Bird, Armchair Apochrypha. [mp3: "Heretics"]

2. New Pornographers, Challengers. [mp3: "All the Things That Go to Make Heaven and Earth"]
