Every year this is a very difficult list to make... this year it's even harder. NOT because there weren't a bunch of brilliant releases... but because I had a lot going on personally this year that kept me out of the music world.
As usual I'll be updating this all the way up until New Years Eve (most likely)... so, enjoy, and I can't wait until next year because I promise it will be the BEST on this blog has ever had :)

oooh controversial choice...'Horses' over Hearing Damage...interesting
is that a picture of jack london behind you?
and are those vampire teeth?
Actually it's Nathan Bedford Forest behind me... yes they are vampire teeth because I'm a nerd! And yeah I chose "Horses" over "Hearing Damage" because the latter wasn't a single :) But I would have chosen it...
