Favorite Songs:
1. "Family Tree" - TVOTR. From the middle third - where Tunde hits a Peter Gabriel-esque intonation - onward, this is simply the most beautifully tragic song I've heard this year.
2. "Kids" - MGMT. This song is sick enough on its own, but the lingering memories of the Girl Talk show put it over the top.
3. "Play Your Part (Pts. 1 & 2)" - Girl Talk. Mel's favorite Lil Wayne verse. Also, I've said "keep your heart, three stacks" approximately 600 times since August.
4. "Good Arms vs. Bad Arms" - Frightened Rabbit. Hard to choose a favorite off such an amazing album, but the last lines of this song are equal parts heartbreaking and brilliant.
5. "It's My Own Cheating Heart..." - Glasvegas. There may be no better guitar riff this year than the one that kicks in around the 0:50 mark of this song.
5. "Keep Your Eyes Ahead" - The Helio Sequence. Again, hard to pick just one off this great album, but I keep coming back to this track.
6. "Got Money" - Lil Wayne. "A Milli" and "Mrs. Officer" are probably better examples of Weezy's talent, but for by-the-numbers hip-hop, you can't do much better than this.
7. "Split Lips" - Sons & Daughters. The lead singer of this group is astonishing.
8. "White Winter Hymnal" - Fleet Foxes. Feels like a track off "Pet Sounds."
9. "The Kids Don't Stand a Chance" - Vampire Weekend. Love the violin that concludes this song and this album.
10. "My Backwards Walk" - Frightened Rabbit. Alright, I couldn't help myself.
Biggest Disappointment:
(Tie) Oasis & The Streets

I hate to say it, but I've been a bit disappointed with Vampire Weekend. "Blake's got a new face" haunts me.
who has time for music?
In the words of Rocky Dennis (if you don't know him, you better ax somebody)
"These things are good: ice cream and cake, a ride on a harley, seeing monkeys in the trees, the rain on my tongue, and the sun shining on my face. and..."
