+1 on Groom

I've also found myself listening to Marina and the Diamonds a lot, and the first in Joanna Newsom's set. Best new kids album of the year is this (IMHO)

 

[snakybus]

Field Music/Measure was the best album for me this year. Joanna Newsome also great. GPO, Dinah Brand, Boa Morte, as well as Walpurgis Family all beeped my jeep. Yeh Deadlies' The Dead Living EP was great, though strictly not an album. Hipster Youth and Porn on Vinyl: virtuous. Adebisi Shank's album was pretty special. STRANDS. Yeah, great year for Irish bands.

 

[xdeletiax]

Flying lotus- cosmogramma
Scuba- triangulation
Mount kimbie- crooks and lovers
Caribou- swim
Shackleton- fabric 55

post wave?

Is that some kind of island joke? Is their album called Tombolo?

shut up. just shut up

 

[pavlos]

Emeralds - What Happened

Er, that should have been "Does it Look Like I'm Here?", but I suppose What Happened got rereleased this year, and is still deadly, so it counts as well...

 

[Mormon Nailer]

Hurray for the Riff Raff.

NIce song, but what a ferociously shit name.

I know, and having a word like Hooray in the name that evvvvvvvvverybody spells differently is not clever if people are trying to find you online!

Isabelle says "It's ok"

I thought it was good. Not what I expected from the look of them, but good

having a word like Hooray in the name that evvvvvvvvverybody spells differently is not clever

Hooray is the best spelling though

more buttholes in 2011!

 

[rettucs]
