Music:
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.
