  1. Because year-end lists are hip, here's 10 albums I loved from this year with tiny blurbs why, in no particular order: Intronaut - Habitual Levitations - Heavy, but thoughtful and risk-taking, truly original music Frightened Rabbit - Pedestrian Verse - Incredible songwriting and arranging. Moderat - II - Production and grooves! Revocation - Revocation - Thrashy yet refined and technical Fat Freddy's Drop - Blackbird - Deeply funky grooves in the reggae/r&b vibe Cloudkicker - Subsume - Gorgeous layering of guitars upon guitars anchored by some killer math-y grooves. Dawn of Midi - Dysnomia - Deconstructed jazz trio music turns into mesmerizing overlapping loops. The Dillinger Escape Plan - One Of Us Is The Killer - Exactly what you'd expect from DEP, which is not knowing what to expect. Equally spazzy and melodic. Jaga Jazzist - Official Page - Live w/Britten Sinfonia - Re-arrangements of 10-piece neo-jazz compositions to allow room for a full orchestra, it sounds big! Shining - One One One - A refinement of their metal/jazz sound into incredibly powerful 4 minute songs.

  2. Somebody please put an end to those damn musicians!
