in response to the last post in the balcklips thread - good NEW bands:Black Mountain - simply awesome new rock that's very rooted in classic style, production, etc. killer spacey/sabbath/moog/riffs yup. i believe the SS'ers already gave this a collective thumbs up.My Morning Jacket - ok, I think they have something new coming out, and while i thought Z was ZZzzzzzzzz, i love It Still Moves from a couple years back. Heavy southern style rock with elements of The Band, minus the corny Skynyrd overtones (but yes to ripping solos)!The Go - whatever there new one was called, awesome TREX/almost Beatles-esque melodic Detroit rock.and I'll ride for the BlackLips again - don't know about their shows; don't care. New album is sorta early Stonesy, garagey fun. How could you like the sonics and all those Nuggets style bands and hate on this? 
i'm sure there's a bunch more NON dance/indie/metal/electro/crap etc bands that are out there. being in the time we live of virtual overload of music/art, it once again comes down to a good recommendation from a friend and having the patience to sift through the bad in order to find the good. and not everyone's gonna agree on the end result, but such is life.

This here is a label comp, which I consider one of 2007's best releases ever:
Other good Wild releases: CD's by Santos as well as Dusty Chance & the Allnighters.
Sounds like something I would be into. I'll have to check it out.
You really should: http://www.wildpresents.com/. What I like about the Wild stable is that the acts don't sound prim, proper and poppish like so many neo-rockabillies do today...
i cant front- very unique album!
the new one, "trouble in dreams" may not be quite as solid as "destroyer's rubies," but i still think it's more inventive than anything else new i hear.
