Hiatus

I am immediately suspending new mehcommendations until early 2009. I am going to relocate to San Francisco much more quickly than expected, so I have to devote my free time to moving preparations. When I resume, reviews will be longer and, hopefully, more useful to readers.

In the meantime, I will publish a list of the best releases so far this year and update it regularly. This will include releases I've already recommended and a number that I haven't yet.
