Will Oldham
Spinless:
I saw a poster advertising it at a museum. It sounded like Lost In Translation but with two guys in some north american wilderness trying to rekindle a friendship and a soundtrack by Yo La Tengo.
Well, of course I wanted to see it. But I never got the chance!
Shadows Collide:
Desperately wanted to see that movie, missed out cause, I don't know why. Ill pick it up on DVD though.
The Letting Go is (by a slight margin ahead of I see a Darkness) his best IMO, in part due to the beautiful harmonies created with the female singer (forgot her name). Best of last year (tied with Midlake for me)
Inlander:
I think Ease Down the Road is still my favourite. I read an interview with Oldham somewhere where he said they were thinking of releasing a version of the Letting Go with only McCarthy's vocal tracks on it.
Mr. Oldham seems to have a knack for finding excellent female singers to accompany him.

I saw it a couple of weeks ago. It frustrated me because I couldn't stand either of the characters: Will Oldham's character was a bit of a dick and his friend was just insufferable. He was too uncomfortable with who he was and too eager for Will Oldham to think he was still cool.
On a similar note, has anyone seen The Guatemalan Handshake? I saw it about a week ago and it is now one of my favourite movies ever. Unlike Old Joy all of the characters are so goddamn awesome. There were very few moments in that movie where I could prevent myself from having a big stupid grin on my face.
ScrambledGregs:
Superwolf is one of those albums that I really, really enjoy while I'm listening to it, but I'm hard pressed to remember much about it a day or so later. I remember the first song for the guitar solo, the one on side two for that spoken vocal sample from a movie, and the last song because I saw the video for it. But otherwise....??
