I do not listen to studio records/albums, but instead take in said material live in concert. Above is an abridged list of my top ten from 9Jan 11 to 9Jul 11, with the specific performance location listed if it was a single attendance, or [#] to denote the number of times I saw/heard their album(s) played live in the first half of 2011 and the specific performance that contributed to their inclusion on the list.

Officially a fake account. I'm not sure who, but they're punking us hard. Know is my first guess in all things, but FD is pretty damn creative with shit like this too. |

It's not a fake, just a troll. If it was a duplicate I know who my guess would be. They don't post here anymore.

If he's punking us then he is just the most boring troll. Like, he totally enrages me but even so the best I can manage most days is a "fuck you, dude".
Even so, I wouldn't put it past this board to produce a gimmick troll from its established ranks who does little more than recite the contents of his wallet every night. The 'I don't listen to pre-recorded music' thing is like a great big banner that says 'COME AND GET ME GRAMMA'. Like, someone who knows me that's trying to get me riled up.
Real or fake, dude's just too fucking tragic for me to get into it with him (so you can stop now, Friendly D).

You may be like, "well I thought you didn't like Bonnaroo." Overall, I didn't. But the music was not the problem with it. |

1. Decemberists - The King is Dead 2. Okkervil River - I Am Very Far 3. Gil Scott Heron & Jamie XX - We're New Here 4. Iron & Wine - Kiss Each Other Clean 5. Radiohead - King of Limbs 6. Bon Iver - Bon Iver 7. Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues 8. Alex Turner - Submarine OST (EP) 9. O'Death - Outside 10. James Blake - James Blake
I'm probably forgetting a lot, and most of this ordering was random. King is Dead is definitely my #1 so far.
Edit: will have to re-listen listen to Destroyer. Didn't really feel it first time around. Zonoscope should probably be on my list too. Will listen to Panda Bear, WU LYF, and Man Man soon.

I think from my original list MAYBE 3 will make the final cut. The second half of this year has been fantastic.
How's everyone else looking? I'm starting to get pretty excited about putting my list together. I have no idea why, but I do every year.

My first (Cut Copy) and second (Bon Iver) picks will be the same, but the rest of my list is going to be pretty different. Adele and Lady Gaga will definitely still be in my top 10, but I'm not sure about any of the others.

Some years it isn't easy filling a top ten list, but there's going to be some tough choices this year for sure.

I'm close to 50 albums released this year that I thoroughly enjoy, and that is almost twice as many as last year. I'd say it's been a good year.

really? i'm at like 7 albums that i thoroughly enjoyed, and about 25 that i kinda-sorta enjoyed. a good chunk of the albums that i've been listening to lately actually came out in 2010.
i'm looking forward to everybody's lists.
