i want so badly to put annie's don't stop on here, but since it's getting reworked, i won't. it was a sweet album, though.

also, no raveonettes because i put it on last years. OHHHH MAN IT'S STILL SO GOOD TO ME.

MY TOP 10 ALBUMS:

10. goldfrapp - seventh tree (this almost feels obligatory. though "clowns" and "eat yourself" are just golden.


09. air france - no way down

07. xiu xiu - women as lovers


06. m83 - saturdays=youth


05. crystal castles - crystal castles

03. brazilian girls - new york city


02. as in rebekkamaria - queen of france


AND THE WINNER IS......

01. portishead - third


HONORABLE MENTIONS:

yelle is a VERY close 11th. on a good day, she made it in the top 10.

cloetta paris - secret eyes (something to live for)
mates of state - rearrange us (REALLY surprised by this one)
arthur russell - love is overtaking me ("close my eyes" is one of the best songs i've heard in some time)
vampire weekend - vampire weekend
the presets - apocalypso (some REALLY good songs, but not so great as a whole album)
cut copy - in ghost colours
love is all - a hundred things keep me up at night
bon iver - for emma, forever ago
beach house - devotion

DISAPPOINTMENTS:

cansei de ser sexy - donkey
stereolab - chemical chords
jenny lewis - acid tongue
of montreal - skeletal lamping

AND ONE I STILL CAN'T DECIDE ON:

ladytron - velocifero (i think my standards for them are just too high)

AND 2009 BETTER BE FULL OF FRANKMUSIK!!!
