When The Aluminum Group popped into my head earlier today, it was no surprise that I had to post my favorite song of theirs (and one of my all-time favorite songs period!) The song is featured on their fantastic 1998 album "Plano" with plenty of other indie POP! gems!

Burning Hearts - Iris
Here's a classic from Burning Hearts' wonderful 2009 debut album "Aboa Sleeping"! I had the great pleasure of seeing them at NYC Popfest back in 2012! They were wonderful and I want them back! Come back Burning Hearts!

Song of the Year - 2001: Echobelly - Ondine
Last New Year's Day, I shared my 2000 Song of the Year, so it seems only fitting that we move on to 2001 this year!
Echobelly's 2001 album "People Are Expensive" is one of those rare perfect albums in my listening history. Towards the end of the album is "Ondine", a beautiful, heart-wrenching ballad. I've spoken about it before on Ooberus back when I did the ABC's of me and you can read that here and it tops my list favorite Echobelly songs. Simply put, I believe this is one of the most beautiful and sad songs ever. Sometimes those two things blend to make perfection.
