My Favorite Albums of the Year

Another year gone bye. Its been amazing. I changed jobs, changed cities, and changed into some new facial hair. Here is my list of best albums from the last year, in no paticular order. If your interested in hearing any of them, let me know and i'll get you a copy somehow

1. The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America

Pretty freaking amazing. Reminds me of drinking in a bar for some reason. Lyrics area amazing, if you like O.A.R, Dispatch, or The Arctic Monkeys, this is waaaaay better, and you should listen to it now.

2. The Thermals - The Body, The Blood, The Machine

Very gritty and good.

3. Sean Lennon - Friendly Fire

I saw him in concert, and he was amazing. Yea, he sounds a little like his dad, but every track is really good and original.

4. The Knife - Silent Shout

Techno/Dance/Indie rock music. Pitchfork named it album of the year, and it's not suprising. The brother sister duo rock and, ummm i an to lazy to figure out a better way to describe it.

5. Grizzly Bear - Yellow House

"Knife" is the best song for this "lo-fi" sorta band. The Knife also cover a few of these songs, and its greta for chilling out

6. Girl Talk - Night Ripper

Perfect party music. It's pretty much a DJ mash up of popular rap songs mixed with 80's/90's music. Everytime people come over i just put this cd on, and it rocks the house

7. Cat Power - The Greatest

As i was in my depressing female singer phase, i listened to this cd a lot. She has a good voice, and it makes me want to drink tea

8. The Velvet Teen - Cum Laude

Sweet i love it.


Thats it. To lazy to think about more
