Faves

I thought it might be a good time to tell you all (y'all) about my favorite albums of last year.


Artwork/Album - my fave album also features my fave artwork:

Panda Bear blew me away early last year and it still does. I think you may hear lots of albums that sound like this one very soon. The style sounds weirdly appropriate for things right now, and I guess that's what the really good stuff does. The collage work in the sleeve suits the material just fine. The artist's name and website -- Agnes Montgomery.

#2 - Battles
This is strange stuff, but I like it. My coworkers make fun of me when i play it.

#3 - Animal Collective
I thought about placing this at #2, because its probably the album I've listened to most. BUT, it has some really boring parts in the second half. Admit it.

#4 - James Blackshaw
I know it sounds kind of slow and repetitive at first, but that's just your vanity. There's beautiful guitar work on The Cloud of Unknowing, and it always ends up having a big effect on me.

Those are the big ones for me. All in all a really good year for music.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Mirror by Tarkovsky is not a good movie. No matter what anyone tells you!
