Pick Of The Week
Roky Erickson - Halloween (Live 1979-1981)

While I haven't heard this specific CD, (although I may have heard a bootleg version of this same concert), I have heard almost all of the releases below, and I feel confident that this CD is better than all of them. Roky is my favorite living songwriter, and he basically can do no wrong.
American Music Club - The Golden Age

Apes - Ghost Games

Atlas Sound - Let The Blind Lead Those Tho Can See But Cannot Feel

Bell X1 - Flock

Ray Davies - Working Man's Cafe

Mike Doughty - Golden Delicious

Grand Archives - ST

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago

Gary Louris - Vagabonds

KRS-ONE - Adventures in Emceein

Kula Shaker - Strange Folk

Allison Moorer - Mockingbird

Probably a 2nd place here. This is a full record of covers. I definitely liked the first 3 tracks, including a cover of Dancing Barefoot.
Morcheeba - Dive Deep

Mountain Goats - Heretic Pride

Raveonettes - Lust Lust Lust

Marc Ribot - Excercises in Frustration

I'm a big Marc Ribot fan, and I'm really looking forward to hearing this.
Steve Smith - This Town

Throw Me The Statue - Moonbeams
