I've posted samples of a few artist I've picked up this year on this board.

My choice would be:

Wild Beast- Two Dancers

Actually a 2009 album but didn't hear of them until this year.

I think I need some more music. I haven't bought cds since folk fest this summer.

My vote: the Avett Brothers' I and Love and You
But that's only of what I remember right now, and my music sample size this year has been rather skewed towards folk and alt-country.

i.e. I may change my mind in a day or two. ;)

So, does anyone have any suggestions for what their album of the year would be? (Yes, I need some new tunes in the ol' rotation.)

One of my leading choices is "High Violet" by The National. What say you?

Hey Everybody! ... and Beck in particular... have you seen the newest xkcd? It's there under less than positive circumstances, BUT it's a great guest spot by the Fox Trot cartoonist.

I'm not going to lie to you, when I saw this I had to go change my pants...

Sci-fi armory on a shirt!

Just some Mo fun!

Happy Birthday Andy!

This is interesting. An Albertan (likely Edmontonian) posted, verbatim, the top comments posted in response to the Sun's article on white privilege that actually prove how much white privilege needs to be dealt with. Gotta love Alberta.
