Summer Holiday was playing in a coffee shop I was at back in...September? I absolutely loved the song and asked the barista what was playing. First time I've ever done that As always, ♥ :D sup Empyrean. yep great album, probably the defining album of my summer. "summer holiday" was the first thing I heard from Wild Nothing and I was hooked straight off. good ear on that one On December 21 2010 11:19 jon arbuckle wrote: Who posted Lower Dens on the brotherly blog? that was me, I was giving the album a first listen and liking the sound. but I didn't notice any standout tracks and I've yet to make up my mind about the album. need to go back, and pay more attention. you into this band?

I had a chance to see them live, but didn't take it.  Stupid college student budget. I intend to put up a blog regarding the bands I did get to see (one of the best years I've had for concert-going) at some point, so look forward to that.Seriously, though, so much great music this year. It was a year of solid and established bands putting out really really solid albums. Not a very surprising year, but a damn good one. I won't disagree with your list outright, but I will say that I've been listening to Avi Buffalo's debut LP and Sufjan Steven's newest an awful lot lately. Also, in honor of blog #XIV, I'm doing my damndest to get the peacoat you linked for christmas. good luck on the peacoat haha I don't know about 2010 in music. 2009 was such a great year...when I got down to making my list this year I was kind of disappointed to find that a lot of the stuff I've been listening to in 2010 isn't part of a coherent/consistently good album. Avi Buffalo, I've one track of theirs that I apparently didn't like very much (2-starred it in iTunes  ) but I'll grab their album and give it a go. thanks for the tip.On December 21 2010 11:04 YoonHo wrote: Man, just looked at everything that you had on your list, some of them I've seen before, but most of them I've never even heard of.

Haha, I guess I can talk about a few of them for now O_O. Your site is really great, I have yet to see a picture of a woman that I don't like. BTW, Camilla Belle got #1 on this most beautiful face list. I don't think I've seen her on your site (I might have missed it) but I think she's really pretty. Here's the list if you're interested: . I really appreciate your music recommendations. I've just recently started to get into indie rock/pop (?) and I enjoy it a lot. I personally like Arcade Fire and Crystal Castle the most (Not In Love is great). Almost forgot, The Mountain Goats and Broken Bells as well, especially The High Road by Broken Bells. Also, I downloaded your favorite songs of 2010 and I was happy to find Home (RAC remix) there :D. Now, I'm just gonna talk a little bit about a bunch of stuff. That doodling in mathematics, I hate math, but I was able to listen to every single word in that video and I understood it O_O. The body drum kit is crazy, I wonder if someone can perfect the art of playing it, I'd pay to watch lol. That hand model is crazy lol, I was scared watching the video. It's surprising how much money she makes though for being a hand model. Oklahoma vs Oklahoma State was a wild game, I bet a little bit on sports and I covered the spread for that game but I didn't win any money >.< (damn you Boise State). Ah, I want to talk about more but I think this will do for now. Again, thanks for your blogs, they're always so interesting :D. | ||

It's too cold in Boston and CT for the kind you mentioned. My brother has gloves like this where you have to pull the fingers off but I wanted these but don't know if they work well or not.On December 21 2010 10:04 JWD wrote: [*] all-black playing cards | $17 — just boss. (warning: no shipping to Australia. sorry Scaramanga) Those black ones look awesome but it looks like they still use red in the picture? Or is that just the lighting. If there isn't red, do they not differentiate between color at all? I might get this if there isn't any red. | ||

I mean, off the top of my head there was LCD Soundsystem, The National, Broken Social Scene, Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade, The Walkmen, Liars, Los Campesinos!, Girl Talk, Deerhunter all releasing really good albums that aren't incredibly ambitious and just don't break much new ground despite their overall good-ness. I'd say that the artists that did the most interesting and new-sounding stuff would be Beach House, Titus Andronicus, Joanna Newsom, and Sufjan Stevens. There's probably plenty that I missed, but they stood out to me the most. :p Oh, check out Warpaint. They're pretty good. 4-piece girl group that plays kinda shoegaze-y kinda proggy music. Their album drags a bit after awhile, but I could see them doing something awesome before long. | ||

then i started paying attention and turned off my music because beach house sounded kinda good ^^ unrelated: suburbs just really blew my mind and its hard to imagine a better album experience, but i guess that's highly tied into how i got into the album over the summer | ||
