there's another thread for iron and wine recs... but i really like our endless numbered days.

kings of convenience.. riot on an empty street is my favorite.

and i don't know if you're into this kind of music, but i recommend vienna teng to everyone and most people have agreed that she is pretty awesome. she's a pianist/singer/songwriter type... pretty mellow and might be classified as 'girl music' if you're of the type that differentiates like that. samples on her website : www.viennateng.com both her albums are pretty ace in their own way... waking hour has some deeper songs with better lyrics in my humble opinion, but warm strangers definitely sounds more mature.

Order from insound. Buy ten records from their top 100. You then get free shipping and 25% of those, and I think off the whole order. And you can't go that wrong with that list.

As to specific recommendations, let me get back to you, but you should absolutely get Jens Lekman's "Oh You're So Silent, Jens" (out now on Secretly Canadian). Lekman is a great and underrated Swedish singer-songwriter and that record collects his three EPs and a bunch of great nonalbum tracks. And since he is better at writing good EPs than LPs anyway, it works out.

Sythe:
Why would you ever sell Shafts of Light?

Its called starvation. Do it.

Order from Aquarius!!  Find them at www.aquariusrecords.org.  You can listen to clips of almost everything, and the mailorder guy is super friendly and chatty.  Great, great, great independent record store.

Outshined:
"I had money issues, so I sold all my cds.  I made 250$!  This should pay off everything!"

-two weeks later-

"Hey, where'd this 250$ come from?  I know, I'll replace all those cd's I had to sell!"  

Seriously, maybe you sould consider saving it in case of another emergency ;).
