There’s a number of reasons why I’m a Tearliner fan. It’s not just because he makes really good music, but also because Liner is the kindest guy. And he’s got a great taste in music. In fact he’s so nice that he agreed to list his favorite albums of the year for Indieful ROK – and as a bonus he included separate lists with a bunch of all time favorites. Even if you’re not the list type, a recommendation or two is never wrong, right?
Liner’s recommended albums released in 2008
Haunt: The Deep North
Wagner Love: Everything About
The Butterfly Effect: Final Conversation Of Kings
Guillemots: Red

There’s now a liner recommends tag radio at last.fm including most of the above, though if it will play or not for you I don’t know… It works fine for me at work, but not so much from home: helikoppter’s liner recommends radio (for last.fm subscribers) or global liner recommends radio (for everybody else).
And don’t forget the upcoming release of the Romantic Island soundtrack! Only three more days now…
Ronderlin, yes!
