A great selection, Boone. A good mix of the landmark indie releases mixed with the hidden gems.
My list would have looked much the same... although I might have also included the Exploding Hearts album Guitar Romantic... and Jim O'Rourke's Insignificance... oh, and Joseph Arthur's Redemption's Son and Death Cab for Cutie's We Have the Facts and... ahh fuck...
nice list. good call.
