Just what i was looking for…I am trying to catch up on an entire year of music after one long year so will enjoy this list. Happy Holidays!
get that port o’brien!
3 Albums that should have made the list!!
Seabear-the ghost that carried us away.
MGMT-Oracular Spectacular
Bright Eyes- Casadaga
Make that 4 albums….
forgot to include
Deerhunter- Cryptograms
Thanks for pointing those out, smoke. I dig the MGMT album, but honestly didn’t spend enough time with it. The same with Deerhunter.
I’ll need to check out Seabear this week. As for Bright Eyes…we’ll have to agree to disagree.
thank you, oz!
