DA LIST

hi

first blog of the new year yip yip!!!

oh wow its sunny outside (totally random..feel like but my hater blockers on...thats my sunglasses haha) ANYWAYS...and its gone

HOKAY

so its only right that i do some kinda of year end post.

sooooo lets start off...let me think!

HOKAY!

in no specific order, these were my favourite albums of the year:

Kanye West- My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Favoourite song? Ahhhh too many! I cant pick, I can listen to this whole CD in one sitting. And I can also rap to it in one sitting too!

Daft Punk-Tron Soundtrack

Favourite Song (s)? It would have to be End of Line, Derezzed, Fall and The Son of Flynn. Many of you probably didnt even know I'm a huge Daft Punk fan. On my old computer where I update my Ipod, i have about every single album and random tracks they have. Booyah.

Gorillaz- Plastic Beach

Favourite Song(s)? It would have to be....the whole CD! It's so star studded (wellll maybe you havent heard of many of these people...)This one gets JR's approval too. They put on such a good show. Too bad they're never gonna tour together again (so they say!), lucky enough to catch their show in Toronto.

Various Artists- Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Favourite Song(s)? Black Sheep, Anthems For A Seventeen Year Old and By Your Side. A really good movie soundtrack...and there is very little of Michael Cera singing. Dont get me wrong, love that kid but dont sing.

The Like- Release Me

Favourite Song(s)? Catch Me If You Can, He's Not A Boy, Release Me, Wishing He Was Dead and Narcissus In A Red Dress. I heard about these girls way back in '09 when they opened for Arctic Monkeys and I guess you can say I eagerly awaited this one...only because you couldnt find MP3's or good videos on youtube. Funny fact: the drummer of this band is in the Scott Pilgrim movie, she plays the drummer in the band Clash at Demonhead haha now you know!

Surfer Blood- Astro Coast

Favourite Song(s)? Catholic Pagans, Swim, Take It Easy, Harmonix...OK i'm pretty much naming all the songs now! HAHA. I dont remember how I came across this band but I really love this CD. A lot of people say it reminds them of the Blue Album Weezer era(thats the good kind, my readers). It's such a good CD, strange enough I think of driving down the beach with your surfboard in the back seat. Mmmmmm but it doesn't help that theres a shark on the cover of the CD. Hmmmmmm....

MGMT- Congratulations

Favourite Song(s)? Siberian Breaks, Brian Eno, Song for Dan Treacy and Congratulations. I love this one, it's so psychedelic. You know me...I love psychedelic music. We were lucky enough to catch them in August after the April gig was a bust. Good show! AND we got to meet one half of the band...i guess the MT part haha.

Neon Indian- Psychic Chasms

Favourite Song(s)? 6669 (I Don't Know If You Know), Deadbeat Summer, and Should Have Taken Acid With You. Another good one thats very psychedelic. Shame on me but....this is actually from 2009. Don't judge! You dont know how hard it is for me to find good music. Geez...haters.

Vampire Weekend- Contra

Favourite Song(s)? Diplomat's Son, Horchata, Giving Up the Gun, White Sky, Holiday, and Run. Also props to the bonus track you get on iTunes, Giant, another fun song. Cmon they sing B.I.G lyrics...c'mon! But I think do prefer their debut. REGARDLESS, this one is just as good.

AND there we have it...

I dont download many CDs or buy them. But here are the lucky few that chill in my iPod haha

Maybe i'll do an honourable mentions post....yea thats what ill do!

PEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
