ooh boy i have not been around at all. just in the nick of time -- i wanted to share a bunch of great albums that came out this year. i spent a lot of time in my car this year and listened to a LOT of stuff. oddly, my favorites are okkervil river, decemberists, my morning jacket, and m83 -- none of which i'd ever listened to before. all four of them are just doing incredible things and make me bite at the air and clench my fists.
thanks to
dugindeep for the black keys + florence links, hooey what fantastic albums.
lastly, a shameless request: anyone have this year's records from radiohead, zola jesus, tegan & sara, or bon iver? omg i wants bon iver SO BAD.
