ChipperDemon's Got the Ear and CD Release Delay

Robin Hilton, producer of NPR's All Songs Considered, compiled a top 10 list of, "Musicians whose remarkable recordings went largely overlooked in 2007." While ChipperDemon will not be announcing Le Loup, Fear Not (September ChipperDemon release) from Le Loup's 2007 album, Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations’ Millennium General Assembly, as the number one song of the year, Robin Hilton named it the number one unknown album.

In addition, included in the running for best album of year for the Plug Independent Music Awards is Band of Horses - Cease to Begin (October), Beirut - The Flying Club Cup (July), Justice - † (September), Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? (Will be appearing in December's compilation), and Radiohead - In Rainbows (October). 5 out of the 12 albums being considered for the award have been featured by ChipperDemon's monthly compilations. 3 of the 12 being considered for the New Artist of the Year awards are Justice (September), Los Campesinos (November), and Vampire Weekend (November).

New York Times rated M.I.A.'s Paper Planes (September) as a top song of the year. They also placed Radiohead's In Rainbows as the top album of the year, followed by Feist's Reminder (July) as number 2 and Iron and Wine's The Shepherd's Dog (September) at number 4. Where as in Rolling Stones' award list, M.I.A. made the number one album of the year and Radiohead came in 6th, Rilo Kiley in 8th (August), White Stripes in 17th (September), Kings of Leon 31st(August), Feist in 35th, Of Montreal in 41st, Band of Horses in 47th and an honorable mention to Britney Spears making the 50th place in Rolling Stones' top 50 albums of the year.

Overall, ChipperDemon is proud that it's got a good ear. In one way it could be seen that ChipperDemon is just as susceptible to mass music influence while at the same time, ChipperDemon still has many songs and artists that were not mentioned on any mega list. Soko, for instance, will certainly not even make it to NPR's greatly overlooked artists.

Also, the December Compilation shall be released Monday the 31st due to the Holidays along with ChipperDemon's best of 2007 CD that will feature songs from the whole year and not just the past 6 months.
