I’m just curious how Slingshot Dakota only got an honorable mention, but Spiritualized was immortalized in top ten glory.
on Dec 15th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Well, dear Bradley, it’s because I thought that the Spiritualized album was better than the Slingshot Dakota album. It’s all a matter of preference.
And yes, Will has given me hell for this list ever since I submitted it two weeks ago. Everyone else is free to join in on the fun!

personal preference!? no way! we judge here at SAL!

good call on Beach House. top-notch.
on Dec 15th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Yes - you do judge here at SAL. I thought about submitting a Top Ten with Vampire Weekend in all 10 spots, just to piss Will off severely.
Ben - the Beach House record is amazing, so lush & beautiful….

we are judging with you not at you!

Let’s end this feud with a rousing game of No Limit Texas Dreidel.
The pairing was inevitable.

What a list! Not exactly what I’d expect to find here on SAL, but I do like that Fleet Foxes record a bunch. The TVOTR album, I just can’t get into it. Saw M83 a few weeks ago and they were actually pretty good. Maybe I could/should submit 10 albums I really like that aren’t going to make my top 50?

Eric - This is why Will keeps me around. I’m his token, knee-jerk hipster friend.

i’d love to blast this list to smithereens, but i value APN’s valuable coverage of my PR clients. ahem… so, um… i agree wholeheartedly with every spot on this list.

Brian - It’s good to know that you’re willing to sell out your musical convictions for the occasional 400-word review, but feel free to blast away at my list. My convictions can and will withstand your attacks.
