P.S. Merry Christmas (it's still Christmas time for another 10 days) and Happy New Year!
I think Deer Tick was on mine, too. very good stuff. but, arcade fire?...as much as i wanted it to, it didnt make my top 10. not that i was expecting another 'neon bible' from them (which is in my top 10 of all time). i guess every band needs an album thats just kinda 'meh'. for me, 'suburbs' was that album. good stuff, had its moments, but a bit of a let-down
ReplyDeleteSee, I was the opposite. I like Neon Bible, but I was kinda disappointed with it. I LOVE Suburbs. It's one of those albums I find myself constantly listening to.
ReplyDeleteDeer Tick was surprisingly good, though.
De gustibus non disputandum est, eh?
...huh?...a bus hit my duodenum?...what??...
ReplyDeleteIt means "there is no arguing about taste."
ReplyDeleteI would have to include "Ghost of a Man" by Paul Cary, "Singing Ax" by J. Tillman, and "Have One On Me" by Joanna Newsom.
