Here is my list of……38? I don’t know. This is all I can remember, get off my back. These are my favorite songs o' the year. I’m sure I missed a few. Newer songs tend to nudge out the older songs but I think I did a pretty good job at setting aside new flames for the old when it was called for.
38. Port O’Brien: My Will Is Good
37. Fever Ray: When I Grow Up (D. Lissvik Remix)
36. Amazing Baby: Headdress
35. Temper trap: Sweet Disposition
34. Metric: Help I’m Alive
I really wanted to like this album more than I did….but I do enjoy the song.
33. Wild Beasts: All The Kings Men
32.Matt and Kim: Daylight
31. Built to Spill: Life’s a Dream
I really wanted to love this album more than I did as well. It did grow on me though.
30. the XX: Intro
29. Wings for the queen: Kings With No Lovers (Labour Remix)
Yeah, so what I’m bias….Wyeth did a great job and I love it.
28. Atlas Sound: Shelia
27. Here We Go Magic: Tunnelvision
26.Dirty Projectors: Stillness in the Move
25. Surfer Blood: Swim
24. The Rural Alberta Advantage: Drain the Blood
23. New Villager: Rich Doors
22.Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes: Home
21. Decemberists: The Rake’s Song
20. Cymbals Eat Guitars: And the Hazy Sea
19. Phoenix: 1901
I really wanted to hate this album and everything that came with it, but….I can’t even get myself to change the channel when the car commercial comes on. Touché fo-eenicks, touché.
18. Yeasayer: Ambling Alps
17. Dirty Projectors: Useful Chamber
16. Land Of Talk: May You Never
15. Julian Plenti: Fun That We Had
14. Beirut/Realpeople: My Night with the Prostitute from Marseille
13. Grizzly Bear: While You Wait for the Others
Without Michael McDonald, it might be lower on the list….I didn’t have to choose.
12. Volcano Choir: Island, IS
11. the XX: Islands
10. Handsome Furs: Evangeline
9. Modest Mouse: Whale Song
8. Julian Plenti: Only if You Run
7. Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes: 40 Day Dream
6. Grizzly Bear: Two Weeks
5. Handsome Furs: I’m Confused
I almost didn’t put this in the top 5 but after recalling how much I loved it when I first heard it…I had to.
4. Heartless Bastards: The Mountain
3. Sunset Rubdown: Idiot Heart
Sunset Rubdown also gets my nod for album of the year beating out Grizzly Bear.
2. Throw Me the Statue: Acestors
This one may have just snuck in there due to it somehow becoming the “theme song” to the best fieldtrip I’d ever been on.
1. Sunset Rubdown: You Go On Ahead (trumpet trumpet II)
what do i have to do to get a copy of new wings for queen music?
