Top Four Local Albums of the Year
Tyvek - Nothing Fits: This album makes me feel like I'm 16 and driving around with beers in my car for the first time. Nervous, but in a good way.
Black Milk- Album of the Year: The Devil gave us Kanye and the Lord gave us Curtis Cross aka Black Milk. Raw and soulful, Album of the Year shows an artist at the top of his game.
The Sights - Most of What Follows is True: Watching and listening to Eddie Baranek create The Sights latest album, Most of What Follows is True, from the ground up was a total pleasure and learning experience. These songs are as much a part of me as all of the Get-N-Go pizzas and beers we consumed in the last year and a half together. Love you little buddy!
Secret Twins - Ill Fit: This record makes me feel Ill Fit to call myself a musician. Dina and Tim are just flat out awe inspiring with what they do.

Dina Bankole (of the Secret Twins, Swimsuit)
(Bedroom-Album-ry at its finest. I listened to this over and over and over and still do! Listen and love...)
Mighty Clouds - Mighty Clouds (Fred & Betty of Saturday Looks Good To Me. Amazingness! Magnetic Fields-ish lady vocals in 'an F. Thomas musical lyrical wonderland.')
Long Whisker - Huge Power ("Artifacts" forever! An increasingly impressive writing force and live band)
BoyWife - BoyWife CD (May have come out right around the end of 2009/beginning of 2010. LOVE. Bug them for a copy, high recommends: "Neu Truckers" and "Lonely Rodent.")
Child Bite - Living Breathing Organ Summer (My favorite Michigan band hands down!)
Zoos of Berlin - Taxis (Listened to this all summer!)
Fields of Industry - Trouble House (Expanded band = expanded awesomeness).
Hospital Garden - Hospital Garden (Technically residing in Chicago, but the roots are forever Michigan. Listen to "Young Republicans" and "Ypsi,"...and all of it!)
Favorite 7" / EP's
Minutes - Minutes 7" (Best thing ever!)
Gardens - Upside/Downside (I could, would, and do, dance to "M-A-Z-E T-I-M-E" all of the day and all of the night).
Johnny Ill Band - Cars (Melody mastery).
Terrible Twos - Crash the Circuit (Equal parts great song and great video).
Deadbeat Beat - Demo (Finally got to spend some time with this one. GOOD GOOD TIMES).
Things I Want to Hear:
Bars of Gold - Of Gold (Really enjoyed their Blowout show).
Druid Perfume - Tin Boat to Tuna Town (Need!!)
Prussia - Poor English (Curiosity!!)
Tyvek - Nothing Fits (Got to stream it a time or two...quality time forthcoming).
