I relistened to Channel Orange today... I now understand the hype. Holy shiiiiiet

Love Is the Plan, the Plan Is Death is definitely James Blackshaw's best album.

I still think it's wholly shit.

Lost is one of my favourite songs this year, but the rest of the album hasn't made much of an impression.

animal collective, grizzly bear, flying Lotus, ariel pink, four tet, wild nothing, jens lekman (!), Stars, Calexico, The xx, dino jr., menomena, earl sweat, and titus andronicus are all albums yet to be released or havent listened to yet. add avalanches and daft punk to that and you have my favorite year of music of the new millennium.
.

I don't think a new Avalanches album is happening

aaaaaaand right after I post this they release a demo

so that TNGHT EP is bangin'

this album seems to be overlooked, it's really a beautiful gem of an album

Every time I revisit Visions I think I'll finally be bored with it but I always end up liking it more and more.

Here's my current top 15, still need to give more listens to The Seer, Coexist and a few others.

1 Animal Collective - Centipede Hz
2 The Tallest Man on Earth - There's No Leaving Now
3 Spiritualized - Sweet Heart Sweet Light
4 Liars - WIXIW
5 Beach House - Bloom
6 Alt-J - An Awesome Wave
7 John Talabot - fin
8 Andrew Bird - Break it Yourself
9 Sigur Ros - Valtari
10 Dirty Projectors - Swing Lo Magellan
11 Killer Mike - RAP Music
12 Purity Ring - Shrines
13 Anoice - The Black Rain
14 Julia Holter - Ekstasis
15 Flaming Lips - Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends

Albums I've only listened to on my shitty laptop speakers because I forgot to bring my headphones while visiting my girlfriend this week and which I therefore can't probably rate but still really like:
Ne Obliviscaris - Portal of I
Swans - The Seer

Albums that I haven't truly digested but that seem to be fairly average or at least not spectacular releases by artists I otherwise love:
Passion Pit - Gossamer
The Tallest Man On Earth - There's No Leaving Now
Sigur Ros - Valtari

Albums I've fully digested and really enjoy:
Burial - Kindred EP
The xx - Coexist
Alcest - Le voyage de l'ame
Dead Can Dance - Anastasis
James Blackshaw - Love Is the Plan, the Plan Is Death

if i like four tet a lot would i like burial?


anyways, 6 from 2012 i really like:

florence + the machine - unplugged
michael kiwanuka - home again
beach house - bloom
the xx - coexist
killer mike - r.a.p. music
cadence weapon - hope in dirt city

more i'll probably like a lot after more listens:

dirty projectors - swing lo magellan
cat power - sun
sigur ros - valtari
baroness - yellow & green
frank ocean - channel orange
el-p - cancer 4 cure

pretty alright:

jack white - blenderbuss
santigold - master of my make-believe

Not necessarily but you should check that out anyway, as well as this collab single which is still probably my favorite track of this year.
