Since it’s December (albeit early-mid December), it’s about time for me to put together some year end Best of lists that I’m sure everyone has been dying to read 
My first such list will be the best shows I’ve seen this year, if my memory serves me well (some shows just blend right into the next year, like Jenny Lewis’s 03/2006 show in Carrboro…that feels like yesterday).
Anyway, here goes, in no particular order:
- The Mountain Goats, 5/5/2007, Local 506, Chapel Hill, NC
- Neko Case, 4/11/2007, The Orange Peel, Asheville, NC
- Chris Garneau, 6/12/2007, Local 506, Chapel Hill, NC
- Grizzly Bear, 3/3/2007, Local 506, Chapel Hill, NC
- Arcade Fire w/ The National, 5/2/2007, Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, Asheville, NC
- Of Montreal, 3/5/2007, Cats Cradle, Carrboro, NC
- Feist w/ Grizzly Bear, 6/14/2007, Carolina Theatre, Greensboro, NC
- Andrew Bird, 12/8/2007, Warfield Theatre, San Francisco, CA
- Lucinda Williams, 3/18/2007, Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, Asheville, NC
This is also a very accurate list of the most-played music in my itunes library. Go figure.
