After finding (and posting here) the top ten selling vinyl albums of 2008 last year I wanted to do the same thing this year when the numbers became available and they have and so I am.
These numbers come from soundscan which has been keeping track of album sales since 1991. The 2.5 million new vinyl […]

I haven’t heard every album released in 2009 (not by a long shot) so I think it’d be a bit presumptuous to claim these seven albums to be the best albums of the year, instead these are just seven albums released in 2009 that I’ve enjoyed and that I think you may enjoy as well. […]

A top 150 albums of 2009 list has been voted on (and then compiled) at what I believe is the biggest Radiohead fan forum on the internet.
As a big Radiohead fan (and a member of that forum, although I didn’t take part in this vote as I’m not much of a regular because the […]

Hi; if you are a Hipster then you know that CDs are so totally cool, but what to buy exactly? Here is a list that I compiled out of the kindness of my sweet and tasty heart. Get your purchase on to the following, hit it and quit it…

I find this list of the sales numbers for Pitchfork’s top 10 albums of 2009 quite interesting.
It’s amazing to me to see how few albums a band such as Animal Collective actually sells. Merriweather Post Pavilion has only sold 131,000 copies through December 13th in the US. While they may be considered huge in […]

Skinny white asexual dorks with safe Indie Rock haircuts ideal for the Pitchfork generation. These young boys are not capable of making music, but rather, pointless noise to play to their equally repulsive trust-fund Hipster girlfriends.
Some members of Animal Collective attended college and experimented with drugs, or perhaps all members of the band went […]

On January 20th Animal Collective released Merriweather Post Pavilion and it’s been one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year (Pitchfork gave it a 9.6, it’s ranked as the 3rd best reviewed album of 2009 by Metacritic, and users of RateYourMusic.com currently have it as the #1 rated album of 2009.) Personally, it’s […]

I’ve decided to get into this “best of the decade” game myself. These are my top 10 albums of the 2000s in chronological order with one special rule: No more than one album by any band/artist. This is to keep half of my list from being filled with Radiohead albums.
Primal Scream - XTRMNTR (2000)
I’m a […]

And this is where I take a look at some of the more interesting album releases coming up over the last two months of the last year of the first decade of the first century of the 3rd millennium.
Morrissey - Swords - November 3, 2009
This is a selection of 18 b-sides taken from singles […]

According to this listing on Amazon.com, Animal Collective will be releasing their second album of 2009 on December 8th: Fall Be Kind. There’s no information about this album except that it’s out on December 8th and that it’ll be available in both CD & vinyl (along with download versions I’m sure.)
Merriweather Post Pavillion was released […]
