he cracks me up.

“24 days and wait for the $.”

old souls know what you don't.

Sometimes you just need this album to slap you in your face.

Thank you, Cursive, for reminding me.

the 2009's

I did the 2008’s this time last year, so here is my spiel, for what it’s worth.

my new favorite band:

While they’re not exactly new, I only discovered Now, Now Every Children this year, thanks to the folks at NPR. Cars is such a cool and enigmatic album and I can listen to it over and over again and discover something new every time.

runner up: Blitzen Trapper

favorite album of the year:

I can’t deal. I first heard this album when NPR’s All Songs Considered broadcasted the live premiere of the album from SXSW. I remember sitting at my desk with my headphones on at work, completely entranced by how beautiful this album was. They’re also releasing a visual adaptation of the album soon, which I’m mega excited for.

Runner Up: Two Tongues (self titled)

Music’s best kept (now not so) secret:

Yes, I’m aware that I’ve chosen 3oh!3. No, I’m not kidding. I heard them for the first time blasting from someone’s office at Fueled By Ramen. I remember thinking, “What the fuck is that? Are those white boys? What the hell is this?” It was glorious. When I saw them at Warped Tour 2008, they were on an eeny stage with some dude dancing. THEN, I remember driving through a McDonald’s drive-thru in October 2008 playing “Don’t Trust Me” and the Helen Keller part conveniently started to play as I was paying…needless to say, I didn’t go to that McDonald’s again.

Runner up: no contest.
