Albums

1 The National - The Boxer

The lyrics are so vivid and specific. I have listened to this CD over and over and again and I still find little details that I love. Just a great record.

2 The Black Lips - Los Valientes del Mundo Nuevo

There live album that is also a sort of best of.

3 Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam

Everything that Pitchfork says about them or whatever.

4 The Fratellis - Costello Music

Sort of a more fun descendant, non smacked up version, of The Libertines.

5 The Klaxons - Myths of the Near Future

Dance rock magic YEAH!

6 MIA - Kala

When I try to describe this music it sounds terrible, "Its dance, techno, reggae, rap, rock with a British accent." I mean it sounds like a 311! The fact that she blends an insane amount of shit into amazing music is a real feet.

7 Radiohead - In Rainbows

Just started listening to it and it is fantastic. I did not pay a dime for it. I'm poor. Eat it Thome York.

8 Against Me! - New Wave

I am a sucker for straight ahead punk/rock and Thrash Unreal is one of the best songs of the year.

9 Fionn Regan - The End Of History

Plucky Irish guitar plucker.

10 The Movies - In One Era Out the Other

This is their old record but I have not gotten the new one. I avoided putting too much local shit on the list but this is one band that should be bigger. They are one of the most engaging live bands I have seen.
