The music that I listen to seems to change every week, but these are the albums that I have most taken to over the past year.
1. Fleet Foxes Fleet Foxes - Whenever I’ve needed to relax, this album has been there for me.
2. TV on the Radio Dear Science - I’d never bought into the hype about TV on the Radio until now. The lyrics can be a bitter of a downer, but the beats are too catchy not to dance to. Finger lickin’ good!
3. Cut Copy In Ghost Colors - Cut Copy and Hot Chip completely dominated my ipod for the first six months of 2008, and the party I was at this past weekend proved that I still love dancing to these guys.
4. Hot Chip Made in the Dark - Best concert I have been to outside of Daft Punk, so they’ve got to be up here.
5. The Helio Sequence Keep Your Eyes Ahead - Just a beautiful album, a significant improvement upon their previous music.
6. Santogold Santogold - At first I thought she was just a M.I.A. clone, but she does actually demonstrate a lot of diversity on her first album.
7. M83 Saturdays=Youth - I love the 80s sound! It always reminds me of Donnie Darko.
8. Ratatat LP3 - Great music for MCAT studying.
9. Vampire Weekend Vampire Weekend - You know, this album is really losing its luster for me, but it is too solid throughout not to include.
10. The Roots Rising Down - For the sake of diversity, this was my favorite rap album of 2008 (yes even more than Weezy, waaaaaaaaaaaay more than Weezy).
