    Alt. Country Top 20

    Well, I think I starting to like making lists and "top-tens" of everything. So, I was looking at the "best 2005" at http://www.americana-uk.com and I decided to rearrange the list according to my opinion. Well, here we go, the top 20:
     
    1.  Ryan Adams “Cold Roses”: Well, I think we all agree with this one.
    2.  M Ward “Transistor Radio”.
    3.  Rocky Votolato "Makers".
    4.  Devendra Banhart "Cripple Crow".
    5.  Damien Jurado “On My Way to Absence”.
    6.  Bonnie "Prince" Billy/Matthew Sweeney "Superwolf".
    7.  Ryan Adams “Jacksonville City Nights”.
    8.  Kathleen Edwards “Back to Me”.
    9.  Bright Eyes “Digital Ash In a Digital Urn".
    10.  Karl Broadie “black crow callin'”.
    11.  Son Volt “Okemah and the Melody of Riot”.
    12.  Steve Wynn & The Miracle 3 “Tick Tick Tick”.
    13.  Richmond Fontaine “The Fitzgerald”.
    14.  South San Gabriel “The Carlton Chronicles”.
    15.  Sufjan Stevens “Illinoise”.
    16.  John Vanderslice "Pixel Revolt".
    17.  Peter Bruntnell “Ghost in a Spitfire”.
    18.  Bright Eyes “I’m Wide Awake It’s Morning”.
    19.  Deadstring Brothers “Starving Winter Report”.
    20.  Rogue Wave "Descended Like Vultures".

     

    Well,  probably I'm mssing a lot of artists, let's see if my brother help me.

    And Again, probably I'm missing some. I hope this helps, and if you don't know this people you better start listenning to them or you'll be missing something in your life.
     
    The last good movies that I saw and you may like are: Brokeback Mountain, Capote and the new Gearge Clooney movie Good Night and Good luck. I hope Brokeback Mountain wins some Oscar but I think is no so good, I like better A Home at the End of the World od Mysterious Skin. Check the IMDB's Oscar Poll at:

    Update

    Hello People!!!!!!!!!!
     
    Finally, I updated the site. I uploaded lots of pictures from the past months. Also, I bought a new 320GB external hard drive and put all my music together, I juat made the list. You can download it from:
     
     
    There are about 3700 albums. If you want anything tell me. You can also download music from me using Soulseek (www.slsknet.org) and adding me in the contact list, my nick is stomp442.
     
    Well....My life is okay, it's weird but I'm having a great time here in Bushland. Like in Finland I'm pretty busy, studying during the day and going out almost everyday during the night. The only problem here is that this town is full of cops and you can't do anything stupid like last year.
     
    Hopefully I will go somewhere from Spring break, maybe Florida. Also, I'm coming back to Spain June 1st. But I have to take two summer courses and finish my final project during June and July, so I can't travel till August. So, I hope someone comes to Spain to visit me.
     
    The people from Finland we should meet again this summer, maybe Italy, I found tickets from Spain to Rome fro 50 euros, so it's really cheap. Even if you want to go June or July I can escape for a couple of days.
     
    Another important issue is that I'm planning to go to London in September and start working there. So, if someone just finished the studies and wants to come to London contact me!!!!. London can be really fun.
     
    Well, I think that's all. Hope everybody is doing fine.
    Enjoy the music and have fun.
     
    See you!
