2007: The Longest Year Ever

Drive. Fever. Drive. Listen. Stop. Repeat.

This is/was 2007. In my eternal 18 year stint on this earth no year (and I cant stress this enough) has ever lasted so long. My friend's wreck was New Years Day. Shit.

I said I'd compile 20 albums from 2007 that I liked, but I could only find 10 that really made any mark on me whatsoever. In a year that brought cliche Kanye (albeit still good Kanye), sell outs from Wilco and Against Me!, and my experience at a Police concert, 2007's music left me generally disillusioned. However, there were some excellent albums. I mean, what do I know? I really only listen to Kid A.

I like descending lists, so deal.

10. Broken Social Scene Presents Kevin Drew- Spirit If...
9. Of Montreal- Hissing Fauna.../Are You the Destroyer?
8. Feist- The Reminder
7. The National- Boxer
6. Animal Collective- Strawberry Jam
5. M.I.A.- Kala
4. Spoon- Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
3. Radiohead- In Rainbows
2. Panda Bear- Person Pitch
1. LCD Soundsystem- Sound of Silver

2:30 a.m.? Broken Social Scene?

At this fascinatingly late hour, I have decided to rekindle my blog adventure. I had one once. It ended with my math teacher thinking I wanted to kill him.
I'll try to do better this time.
Anyway I figured I'd start this venture again after a night of paging through my friend Joe's (what's up man) blog and becoming inspired. Even though nobody will probably read this, except maybe Joe, and perhaps my girlfriend, I enjoy writing, so whatever.
It's been two years since I've compiled an end-of-the-year music list, and I'd like to do it again. However, as I've been compiling all of the music I've loved this year, I can't help but notice how my life is ruled by Pitchfork. I seem to like whatever they say to like, I seem to think how they do.
Did I mention I have to be at breakfast in 5 hours?
