I really dug Tune-Yards' whokill, and Tom Waits' new album is pretty damn good.

Stilted's "Stephen Hawking's Metal" has been stuck in my head for months...sure wish arcade fire would go AWAY...

I've been listening to the new Wild Flag, Decemberists, They Might Be Giants, and Ida Maria records a whole lot.

Blitzen Trapper's "American Goldwing" and Girls' "Father Son Holy Ghost" are two of my faves of the year.
