It's crazy how fast people (I) change. That's the take-home message from reading my entries from the past year. Maybe it'd be a less dramatic change if I updated more often. I know I say this all the time, but I'm so thankful that 1. Livejournal exists and 2. I decided at age 14 to start this thing and never forgot about it.
Anyway, here are my favorite albums of the year. These are the albums I'll always connect with my first year in Utah, the most trying year of my life, and also maybe the most fun... definitely the most promising. I'd say it's absolutely been the most important year of my life. These aren't the year's best albums, but they're the ones that'll forever help me recall this AMAZING year. And they are all REALLY REALLY GOOD.
1. The Suburbs - Arcade Fire
2. All Day - Girl Talk
3. Eyelid Movies - Phantogram
4. Odd Blood - Yeasayer
5. The Age of Adz - Sufjan Stevens
6. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West
7. The Colossus - RJD2
8. Treats - Sleigh Bells
9. There is Love in You - Four Tet
