When i make my Sim (Lloyd Minny) go gay then it could be. We aren't at that point just yet.
Anyway, everyone has fucked fof and i'm alone on xmas day for an hour, so i'd though it'd be a novel idea to list my favourite albums of the year.
I was going to the Decade but i think i'll surprise myself more if i do one year and i can't think back that long ago.

Anyway.

Merriweather Post Pavilion
This Album just won't get shit however much i try to make it so. First i got obsessed with My Girls and shook my head violently and pretended i could play the drums to In The Flowers when it explodes. Then Summertime Clothes got amazing, then Bluish and currently i am loving Brother Sport and Daily Routine.

Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
Admittedly my consumption of this album has been percentaged 90% Listomania, 10% Anything else but i'm getting it today for xmas if Santa still has the same good taste he had when he got me MPP last year. So santa, if you're around, keep up the fine work and i promise to listen to all of this album, just for you.

Noble Beast
Trueloves Gutter
Hard Times

I am also going to promise Santa, that even though i could probably predict next years top 5 now (Midlake, Fionn Regan, Los Campesinos!, Magnetic Fields, Broken Bells)


And on that note, my parents literally now are coming throuhg the door (hows that for breaking the fourth wall), so piss off]]> http://www.last.fm/user/lloydgriffiths/journal/2009/10/14/332ngb_moments.._of_magic(like_the_cadburys_advert) Wed, 14 Oct 2009 19:10:43 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/lloydgriffiths/journal/2009/10/14/332ngb_moments.._of_magic(like_the_cadburys_advert) I love those bits of music which make you think that despite life is mainly fucking shit i would live through all the misery and boredom in the world just to feel that way again, somehow this little bit redeems everything else.I don't understand why this music is so good and i don't want to.
