Apologies it took so long, I'm still working mine out...
EDIT: Also, apologies Hayden your last post in the 2012 thread got lost in transference. You can re-post it here if you like (seeing as it was in response to something Applerill asked). Also, thanks for that edit to your original post making more sense.

Can't wait to see yours And no problem.
And to Applerill: MANNER will be #1 soon (comments that got cut out).
And paladisiac, I'm going to check out the Diamond Rugs album soon. THAT looks interesting. _________________ Doubles & Conch
i'm reviewing 2012 albums as i type, but i've already plowed through another listen of these, so this top 15 is fairly resolute (for now).
01 hot chip - in our heads
02 fun. - some nights
03 cloud nothings - attack on memory
04 fiona apple - the idler wheel...
05 metric - synthetica
06 diamond rugs - diamond rugs
07 chairlift - something
08 best coast - the only place
09 andrew bird - break it yourself
10 killer mike - r.a.p. music
11 twin shadow - confess
12 spiritualized - sweet light sweet heart
13 screaming females - ugly
14 shearwater - animal joy
15 sleigh bells - reign of terror
(Rising = killer mike. Falling = spiritualized.)
Apart from the uber cheesiness of fun. we have fairly similar taste. Also I kinda want to listen to the new Twin Shadow but I think the guy's a douchebag and that album cover isn't helping.

Yeah, the twin shadow cover is pretty ghey (not that there's anything wrong with that!), but the music's kinda slick in a sort of hercules and love affair -sorta way. (That's my insta-RIYL -- please note the usages of "kinda", "sort of" and "sorta" -- but don't just go by that) _________________ fav artists NOW | ALL-TIME favs | i listen 2 more music than u so u don't have 2!
1. Django Django - Django Django

8. Schoolboy Q - Habits and Contradictions
9. Death Grips - The Money Store
