Best of 07 pt. 6- Freeing Us From The Tyranny Of The Guitar
This award goes out to all those special artist who took the courage and used non-traditional rock instruments...
Its not that I hate the guitar, its just that I like the trumpet , accordion, and organ better.
The "Polka Paradise Award"...Does anybody get it?
Beirut - The Flying Club Cup / Lon Gisland EP
Zach Condon managed to woo Natalie Portman this year, and more importantly myself. His use of horns is a far more subdued than his debut effort but still ass a magic touch. The song that has been on repeat is from the EP, a reworked version of Scenic World.
Beirut - Scenic World (EP Version)
Les.Petits - The.mighty.antlers.of.song EPs
THEY USE THE GLOCKENSPIEL!!!!
Les.Petits - Best Tasting Wool in the Whole World
The Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
I don't care what anybody says Intervention is one of the best singles of the year and the organ gives me chills at the start of it. Its like what would happen if Bruce Springsteen mated with a Church Choir.
Arcade Fire - Intervention
And just incase the Arcade Fire was not obvious enough.
Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna are you the destroyer?
Kevin Barns solo project now I guess. Spawned the summer single (fuck umbrella) Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse. I mean you didn't expect this album to make it anywhere on this top 50 wank-off?

Well stated; we need more experimentation and I think these bands are excellent candidates for having pushed that envelope. May I also suggest the work of Fiest who uses trumpet very effectively in her music.
