I asked the main actors of this here blog (mostly musicians, of course, but also friends, family, support-givers…) to provide me with a list (5 to 20 albums) of their favorite records of the year.

The results are slowly coming in. There are surprises, resemblances, similarities, incongruous choices… I’ve left the responses intact, exactly as I received them, along with my friends’ comments. So here goes:

Youmna Saba: designer, musician

“Here is the list of this year’s albums that I think are worth mentioning, in no particular order.”

Fleet Foxes: Fleet Foxes
Elbow: The Seldom Seen Kid
Rima Khsheish: Falak
Department of Eagles: In Ear Park
MGMT: Oracular Spectacular
Bon Iver: For Emma, Forever Ago

“Voila!”

The Ruptures program on Monday 27 October featured Lebanese artist Youmna Saba as a special guest. She gave an exclusive Radio Liban presentation of extracts from her debut album, “Min 3Afesh El Beit”, due for release in December 2008. Youmna also performed several of her tracks live in the Radio Liban studios, under the watchful ears of sound engineer Fadi Tabbal, who is also the producer and co-musician on the album. It was an emotional moment, and a chance to discover a spectacular voice and talent with a bright future ahead of it…
