Here is a fun little list to end 2007. KEXP is our favourite radio station. For the next two weeks, you can actually listen to the entire countdown on their streaming archive.
What a year of music! It was also a great year for Canadian bands. I was voting for Feist, who really didn't need any assistance. We were also cheering for Seattle's Arthur & Yu. We fell in love with Arthur & Yu when they opened a show for Toronto's Great Lake Swimmers.
Of interest, number 69 on the KEXP countdown is a one-man band (Caribou) who went to my highschool (Parkside, Dundas, Ontario, Canada). I only remember Dan Snaith as a guy who won math awards.
I look forward to more concerts in 2008. Mina is hoping to get out to see her beloved Dan Zanes when he is back in town this spring. Actually, Dan has a roughly 10 year old daughter who's first stringed instrument was a ukelele. This was partially my inspiration for Mina's Xmas gift.
Here are a couple pictures from Rich and Mina at the KEXP Father's Day Dance Party back in June. We look forward to the party in 2008! Hopefully Mr. Miles can skip his nap to show his moves on the dance floor. Perhaps Mina will bring her ukulele.
Happy listening!
