HONORABLE MENTIONS, ETC
Most played album this year that didn’t come out this year:* Crowded House – Recurring Dream (every year)*
Rediscovery of the year: Suzanne Vega – Solitude Standing (truly one of my favorites, one of the best produced albums of all time)
Most Life-Altering Podcast (non-musical): Tara Brach’s weekly Insight Meditation Center talks (recommended even if you’re not into the whole Buddhism thing, a great way to learn about a possibly different way to think about life and your own habits) http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=265264862
