I imagine that this list looks a hell of a lot different than most, and I don’t pretend to hear everything, but I do wrap my ears around an awful lot of albums. I also like almost every kind of music (and by almost, I mean I despise manufactured pop drivel, new country music, and brainless rap), which gives my list a somewhat non-hipster feel. So, without any doo-doo-ron-ron, here’s my most beloved ten spins of the year, in no particular order.
Plants and Animals – Parc Avenue
Del McCoury and Friends – Moneyland
Mike Doughty – Golden Delicious
Talkdemonic – Eyes at Half Mast
TV on the Radio – Dear Science,
The Baseball Project – Volume 1: Frozen Ropes and Dying Quails
The Wounded Messenger
