The single I heard from Architecture In Helsinki on Subterranean was super catchy but if a whole album of that might be too much. Yeah, you do.

And there's other stuff I'd like to hear- the Joggers, Deerhoof, Architecture in Helsinki, Will Oldham's Superwolf, Low. Not enough time or money. I just overthink this too much.

Sufjan Stevens- Come on Feel the Illinoise 9. Jose Gonzalez- Veneer 8. Jens Lekman- Oh You're So Silent Jens 7. M83- Before The Dawn Heals Us 6. Bloc Party- Silent Alarm 5. Broadcast- Tiny Buttons 4. New Pornographers- Twin Cinema 3. Monk and Coltrane 2. Wolf Parade- Apologies to Queen Mary 1. Stars- Set Yourself On Fire Really, I have no idea on the order. I couldn't stop listening to Stars, and I love it, but I find it drops off a bit at the end. Do I really think Wolf Parade is the second best album of the year? It's a solid, consistent effort, but it's nothing amazing. Monk and Coltrane is old. I haven't listened to Bloc Party in months. I don't know, there were alot of albums I liked this year. I just don't know how many I really love or think will stand the test of time. Honorable mention- Sleater Kinney, Spoon, Richard Hawley, Clap Your Hands, Decemberists, Ladytron Single of the Year- Destroy Everything You Touch by Ladytron Dissapointment- Franz Ferdinand, Broken Social Scene, Malkmus Kings of Leon was last year. I’m having a hard time with this, but here goes.
