I can't do it. I can't list my top six albums so at least I'm going to be honest about it. Sometimes, I just hate writing about music. Sometimes I think I'm just making a list to be cool. Here it is, for no reason at all:

5. Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton - Knives Don't Have Your Back
4. The Craters - Thriller
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium
2. TV On The Radio - Return To Cookie Mountain
1. Grizzly Bear - Yellow House.

I don't really want to write about it. I realize that the Red Hot Chili Peppers may not be the coolest band and that Stadium Arcadium wasn't everyone's favorite but it really did it for me so it goes up here. No indie cred. TV On The Radio was amazing, somehow disappointing, and yet still worthy of a spot on the list. Emily Haines was pretty good. I don't know. I sampled a lot of current new music this year but I guess I didn't love as much of it as I thought. The Grizzly Bear album was the only really KILLER album through and through that I've heard. It's been a recent thing to, I saw them in September with Spencer opening for none other than TV on the Radio and they've sorta outshone TVOTR since then, in my world.

I guess I just did it. But I didn't enjoy it.
