The albums

I know it is popular to have a top 10 or 25 albums of the year, and I feel compelled to participate as I am a DJ/music director of a college radio station. However, it opens you up to a lot of criticism. People can be so passionate about music, and rankings are rather pretentious (very pattie kat-esque). So this year will end with merely a list of albums I enjoyed in 2007 in no particular order:

Jens Lekman- Night falls over Kortedala
Gruff Rhys- Candylion
Frida Hyvoenen- Until Death Comes
The Good, The Bad & the Queen- S/T
Junior Senior- Hey Hey My My Yo Yo Yo
Air- Pocket Symphony
Blue States- First Steps into...
Coconut Records- Nighttiming
Blonde Redhead-23
The Bees- Octopus
The Rosebuds-Night of the Furies
Stars- In Our Bedroom after the War
Deadelus- Fairweather Friend
The Most Serene Republic- S/T
Devendra Banhart- Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon
A Hawk and a Handsaw- S/T
Charlotte Gainsbourg- 5:55
Iron & Wine- The Shepherd's Dog
White Rabbits- Fort Nightly
Broken Social Scene presents Kevin Drew- Spirit If...
Prefuse 73- Prepalations
Akron/Family- Love is Simple
Buck 65- Situation

I also listened to every Serge Gainsbourg album ever. He makes me so happy, but obviously is not a 2007 sort of thing. I'll probably add more later as the end of the year is more heavily favored. It is difficult to remember what albums I was spinning heavy in January.

Recipients of Christmas Money

Anthropologie.com will be receiving my christmas money (from an unexpected source) this year. These items include, but are not limited to:






P.S.- I got the marc jacobs watch I wanted from the bf!

It's even better in person because you can't see how huge and bling it is from this picture. Speaking of Marc Jacobs, my latest (platonic) crush is Todd Asselmeier who works for MJ.

Is it ok to use the word hipster is describing something that you like? Or only things you don't like? It's been a moral dilemma for a the past week.
