[kyleevanswastaken]

I think its a little early for top 10 lists, considering there are 16 days left in the year for you to go to a show or a store and find something new.

I think its a little early for top 10 lists, considering there are 16 days left in the year for you to go to a show or a store and find something new.

Sort of true, but most labels take a break from releasing stuff around the holidays, and 2 weeks is not all that long in comparison to the 50 weeks before it. Virtually every magazine and blog has released their end-of-year list. Besides, I feel like a lot of these lists have been solidified for a while.

[kyleevanswastaken]

yeah you people are forgetting boxing day. A great day to score something new right before the cut off. Also magazines have to have theirs out, we dont.

I reserve the right to change this list at any time in the next 15 days. This is also the condensed version.

Props:

Douchemaster Records for all the great releases

Dusty Medical Records for the same reason

The Ergs for playing the best set I saw all year

Slops:

Matador Records for causing all that Jay Reatard Single Series drama.

Internet variant collector fan boys for making it harder to get certain records I wanted.

The Weirdies.

(Only way matador is getting off the slops list is if Jay Reatard hand delivers a copy of #6 to me, or mails on to me and the package has "awesome" as my middle name.)

[enjoyadrian]

I would like to add Dr Dog's "fate" to my list. I barely listened to this album this week, and it is fantastic.
