Spoil the Surprise

So I've start my end of year lists but so has everyone else. Got me thinking about how I missed a lot of this stuff, especially music. I know some people who take the entire month of December to go over everything that came out during the year so they've got a fresh plate for next year's new releases. I think this is a good idea. Having already posted my top five, I would already probably include Kanye's record because it's that good. The entire thing rocks. Also a couple people have mentioned Sharon Van Etten to me because I like Neko Case. I'm listening to it right now and it sounds more like a cross between Kathleen Edwards and Lucinda Williams. It's good but it isn't blowing my mind. Also there's a British indie-pop band call 'Allo Darlin' whom I'm supposed to like because of my fondest for indie-pop. Haven't listened yet but could be interesting. There's probably going to be more but that's what's come up in the week since I posted my best of.

PopMatters says that Cee Lo Green's "Fuck You" is the best single of the year. I'd agree and I'd add the radio edit kind of sucks. "Tightrope" was second.
