Because it's a Friday, and blah blah blah more fun than blah blah blah work fun blah.
I like making lists.
Cloud Control - Bliss Release
Beach House - Teen Dream
Local Natives - Gorilla Manor

The Basics - Keep Your Friends Close (Even though technically it came out last year)
Funhouse - The Stooges
And I've heard it every year for a number of years.
Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot
Sigh, slim pickings so far. This is not some obscure album /artist. Take it as a comment.
Gil Scott Heron - I'm New Here
The Ancients - The Ancients 2
The Frowning Clouds - Listen Closlier
The Black Keys - Brothers
I mean, there are other albums that I've really liked and stuff but these are the ones that have really snuck into my brain.
Bizarre Uproar Purification
The Endless Blockade / The Bastard Noise The Red List
Emeralds Does It Look Like I'm Here?
Danzig Deth Red Sabaoth
Iron Maiden The Final Frontier
Sewer Election Bristning
realism - magnetic fields
top 5:
northern portrait - criminal art lovers
standard fare - the noyelle beat
outrageous cherry - seemingly solid reality
title tracks - it was easy
besnard lakes - the besnard lakes are the roaring night
Chris Altmann - Que Paso
Wait, this is stuff released in 2010?
If not:
Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell
Black Sabbath Mob Rules
Let's say it's stuff you've heard for the first time this year, regardless of when it was released.
I'm with anonymous on Sir Lucious Left foot. Also throw in Archandroid by Janelle Monae and Notorious XX - a Biggie/XX mashup.
Onra - Long Distance
Circle Pit - Bruise Constellation
Tin Man - Scared
Maybe not the best, but I listen to them the most.
Fuck, I dunno, I don't think I've listened to any new really good albums this year.
The new Fall one is pretty good and I like the Om one too. I downloaded The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past soundtrack and have been listening to that, it's pretty good.
Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles
Foals - Total Life Forever
The Gin Club - Deathwish
LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening
Die! Die! Die! - Form
Parades - Foreign Tapes
I listened to that Circle Pit album Shaun, it's OK but if that's the best of the year we're all in more trouble than I thought..
The Spitfire Parade one is pretty good. Uh, the new Les Savy Fav is pretty rubbish which is disappointing.
I really just want a new Mclusky album.
Happycow.. where did you get the LZ soundtrack? WANT
Oh, really looking forward to the new My Disco album, I reckon that'll be the best. And the Absolute Boys 12'' single is pretty good, while we're on the topic of Melbourne post punk minimalism.
hang on, ill find you the link (hah!)
I really like the medieval military style tracks - Dark World Theme, Hyrule Castle Theme, Death Mountain Theme. And the Lost Woods and Kakariko village themes are great too.

william d drake - s/t cd from 2001
William D. Drake is an English keyboard player, singer, songwriter and composer. He is best known as a former member of renowned singer-songwriter Tim Smith's bands Cardiacs and The Sea Nymphs.
He has also been a member of the bands Nervous, Wood and Lefaye, has played keyboards with Rachel Goswell, and briefly led the psychedelic acoustic band Lake Of Puppies in the mid-1990s. He is currently a member of North Sea Radio Orchestra.
Drake began a long-delayed solo career in 2002 and has released two EPs (''Melancholy World'' and ''Earthy Shrine'') and three albums (''William D Drake'', ''Briny Hooves'' and ''Yew's Paw''). He divides his compositional work between idiosyncratic singer-songwriter work and classical piano pieces.
