With the year rounding it's final dwindling lap, it's time to recap on the top 10 albums that this reporter found riveting this year. Without further adieu:

- Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna Are You the Destroyer?
This album was the single most listened to during my study abroad session. All together addicting and funktasic.
- LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
Snap! Who would have thought that he would uncover such a gem with his sophomore album. Every track from start to finish is a solid listen.
- Jens Lekman - Night Falls Over Kortedala
Could this Scandinavian bastard be more beautiful? This album is genuinely nothing less than shimmering.
- Radiohead - In Rainbows
Has Radiohead ever had a bad album? Ok, a REALLY bad one? Well, this one propels the notion that they are still the greatest band on earth right now.
- Boxer - The National
Wasn't a big fan of their last endeavor, but this one is damn solid.
- St. Vincent - Marry Me
Refreshing to see a female vocalist that isn't strumming simple chords while projecting her sirenesque voice. This girl can shred.
- Okkervil River - The Stage Names
Best Okkervil River album to date. This one provides some real energy vocally and still maintains the same whitty lyricism.
- Great Lake Swimmers - Ongiara
This one won't be on anyone's list, but it's so damn good. Walk home alone on a snowy night with this album playing and you'll know what I'm talking about.
- The New Pornographers - Challengers
Am I the only one on the planet who liked this album? I was delighted that they slowed things down for this one. But hey, I'm just one guy.
- Linkin Park - Minutes to Midnight
Buy this album.

Before you is Jet Lee in The Mummy 3 as the mighty dragon emperor. I can't wait, all of his other movies have sucked so much that he's overdue for a damn good film. Other gems include Halo, Tekken, Dragonball Z and GI Joe. It seems to me that Hollywood needs to shit out a few more CGI infested comic book movies and sequels because we the people crave them by the hundreds.

Pumpkin _________!

*Jake can't get Primal Rage II to work on the emulator!
Never released due to it's craptasticness, the long anticipated sequel to dinosaurs killing each other after nuclear holocaust does not work on Jake's emulator. The emulator actually forces you to build an arcade machine in order for it to work ($6000 more or less)... in order to play Primal Rage. This sequel doesn't even have fucking dinosaurs in it anymore! QWTF! A spokesman stated that kids couldn't relate to the characters in the first game so they added people instead. Because everyone knows that kids hate dinosaurs, I'd say that was a good call. Stay tuned for updates.



Sports:
*T-Wolves lose everybody for new season detaching any connection fans (me not being one of them) had to players on the team.
*Patriots win the Superbowl! TBA is defeated 36-7!
*Boston sucks!
