Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m taking this week off from posting, but I won’t entirely be on vacation from the blog. The holiday season has arrived, which means Ohmpark is about to be in total end-of-the-year-list mode. I’ll be spending much of this turkey infused break catching up on albums I haven’t heard yet. As always, I want my lists to be as comprehensive as possible, so I welcome any and all suggestions on music I might have overlooked over the course of the year. I’m especially looking for Atlanta bands and records that might be off my radar. I try my best to dig as deep as possible, but there is no way I can give your band some love if I don’t know you exist. So please leave suggestions in the comments here or send me emails or tweet me or whatever.
I’m also going to be doing some cleaning up on the back end of things. I need to clear up a lot of server space, so at the end of the week I’m deleting almost all of the live show bootlegs I’ve been hosting. Anything I posted more than six months ago will be gone, so feel free to dig through here and download everything you want while you still can. Also, I haven’t updated my links page since we launched the new site, and about a million more bloggers and new media journalist types have popped up around Atlanta since then. I want to give everybody some link love, so if you don’t think I know your site, spam the comments here and I’ll put you on the list.
A special thanks to everyone that helps me keep this site rocking, and many thanks to you readers for dropping by. Have a happy holiday everyone!

Atlanta band Irreversible’s cd the Light was really good. They recently broke up but it was an amazing release nonetheless.
Plus Animal Collective’s new ep kicks ass

Davy,
We love the site. We really can’t add much to your very thorough coverage of the local music scene, just pleased to be working the same ATL. If you’ve got any literary types, they might find that part of our content of interest though. http://atlalist.com

Skeletonbreath (Brooklyn violin-bass-drum trio) dropped an album not too long ago that u can listen to some of on http://www.myspace.com/skeletonbreath
Them Crooked Vultures (new supergroup of Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones, and the guitarist from Queens of the Stone Age) have their self-titled debut album streaming at:
http://onethirtybpm.com/2009/11/09/stream-the-new-them-crooked-vultures-album/
The Very Best’s “Warm Heart of Africa” is an Afro-Indie-Pop mix of Malawi artist Esau Mwamwaya and UK producers Radioclit
http://www.myspace.com/theverybestmyspace
Air’s “Love 2″ is an ambient electro mix that travels through cultural styles pretty smoothly, and is fully listenable at:
http://en.aircheology.com/discographie/albums/love_2/love_2
Australian classic rock band Wolfmother’s “Cosmic Egg” has their full album stream on myspace:
http://www.myspace.com/wolfmother
The Black Keys are set to release an album soon that involves collaboration with a number of hip-hop artists including ?uestlove and Mos Def, someone told me it might be around the net somewhere, but for more info:

For other stuff in the hiphop realm, Somalian artist K’naan recently released a mixtape entitled “The Messengers” that pays tribute to the legends Bob Marley, Fela Kuti, and Bob Dylan:

And of course, if you haven’t had a thorough listen yet, check out Omar Rodriguez-Lopez’s Xenophanes, where he lets off his signature style riffs and even sings a good bit with his girlfriend…most (if not all) is on the record label’s myspace:
