Jut the fact that so many solid releases came out over the last two years is a sign that things have improved.<BR/><BR/>Let's hope for new releases in 2009 from Human Reunion, the Story Changes, 8-Bit Revival, Stone the Mayor Sheriffs, and New Vega.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19871780.post-64720686957912127512008-12-24T15:42:00.000-05:002008-12-24T15:42:00.000-05:00I second Jesse Remnant's Human Cannonball.

One album that I think is clearly top 5 material but has received no Buddha Den love (as far as I can remember) is Esther Caulfield Orchestra's Good Morning Whiskey Breakfast. Everyone should do themselves a favor and get the album for free from the dude's website. It effortlessly channels so many great styles of the 60s and 70s while sounding completely its own.<BR/><BR/>Also, Jesse Remnant is about the only Dayton musician who places the utmost importance on vocal melodies. For most, it's the instrumentation or song structure or sound texture, with melodies being an afterthought. For that reason, I'd say Human Cannonball is the best release of the year, as it has the most singable tunes to come out of Dayton since the mid 90s.<BR/><BR/>Does anyone know when Don Thrasher releases his top 25?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
