Sonic Youth doesn't always put on a winner, but from various other end of year polls suggest "Eternal" is one of their best of their career, and it's on E-music. Yet not in the top 60? I don't think it is the best of the year, but it certainly is in the top 60 without a doubt. Missing that says quite a bit on this poll's lack of validity. There are litmus tests on “best of” polls.

I, obviously, feel very passionately about the Bazan. And I want to add that I was pretty indifferent toward Pedro the Lion -- so that's definitely not a prerequisite for liking this album. Musically, they're worlds apart. He even has a beard!

Especially when wrapped in quotes. It's funny, on paper Girls and The XX seem to be bands I'd constantly have on repeat, however I'm having a hard time getting into both. Maybe I need to spend some more time with them? I dunno. I do know I need to get my hands on that Bazan record. Not sure why I've hesitated - a couple times on mixtapes or on blogs a song has caught my ear and I'm surprised that it's him.

This was the subject of my other lengthy rant last year, and I'm truly delighted to see it. BTW, this list brings to TWO the number of records on the list I own (Pains and Passion Pit). I feel profoundly uncool, and oddly comfortable with that.
