    Good to see YHF by Wilco getting the props.

    my top20 most played ipod/itunes list is here: http://www.blackbeltjones.com/work/mt/archives/000470.html#000470

    A couple of Avalanches mixes were probably my favourites of the year, and favourite original album was either YHF, or ‘the last broadcast’ by The Doves.
