One of the strangest developments of 2010: A lot of people I know who are still heavily into the jam band scene, got heavily into Of Montreal. Is this a worldwide phenomenon?

Hey Chris!
I am digging that Ty Segall, as well.

Happy New Year to you and I hope that you had a very Merry Christmas. (Or do you celebrate on 1/7? In that case, I hope that you have a Merry Christmas.)

Good list, OPA! A lot of things we have in common there.

So maybe I should check out that Harlem album? It's been on an interesting variety of lists now.

I like that Future Islands album but came to it a little late and wasn't immediately grabbed by it. It's started to grow on me, though.

I think this is the first list I've seen anywhere with that Of Montreal album on it. A lot of people seem to hate it. (I haven't heard it.)

Good list...I listened to that Gonjasufi a lot - hypnotic if kinda annoying. That How to Dress Well is really interesting, sweet and conceptually challenging, but the production ... 80% of it sounds like a cassette left in a car in the summer in Bakersfield. Sometimes strength and weakness is the same thing.

I'm just glad to see Das Racist on someone's list. Ive never heard the album, but that "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" joint is the best terrible annoying song ever.

I suspect, going by what you've said in the past about Girls, that you probably won't like Harlem. However, I see that you liked the Wavves album so Hippies might surprise you.
