    future islands - in evening air

    the sight below - it all falls apart

    how to dress well - love remains

    From your wholly bizarre list, I only have "games" and I consider it to be a pretty uninspirational gimmick EP, but will make a point of checking out the rest out of sheer curiosity. Surely there's one good album in there.

  2. Nice to see Caribou getting so many mentions.

    Leave house is one of my most favourite tracks of the year.

    It's the 21st best album of the year!!! 8o

    Is it because the album has an amazing opening track so everyone gets a boner over it, but then never actually listens to the rest of the boring album?

    (with regards to Beach House, not Caribou. I've quite enjoyed all of Caribou's album. Don't think the latest two feel anywhere near as complete as the the milk of human kindness though.)(RATHER IRONICALLY I MIGHT ADD, COS HE DID AT EEN FIRST)

  3. Yeah, so as I mentioned in the albums of the year, I was inspired to create smart playlists for each of the last 10 years after I made one for 2010. So the purpose of this thread is to ask...

    1. Which year is the largest?

    2. Which year do you consider to be the best?

    3. Why?

    For me...

    1. Largest is 2010, coming in at 2.83gb. Did have a 20gb clearout recently though of stuff I never listened to.

    2. Best year is a close one between 2004 and 2010

    3. Well, 2004 produced Arcade Fire - Funeral, Animal Collective - Sung Tongs and Willy Mason - Where the Humans Eat. You can't really get a better year than that! 2010 though has got me excited about music again, I was becoming slightly disillusioned with bands/artists over the last couple years, opting to listen to techno/minimal techno instead.

    IMO nothing REALLY special had come out in the last two years before 2010 (or at least so I thought at the time, discovered a few classics this year)(maybe with the exception of Bitte Orca) but that has been all change this year, it was getting to the point where I was getting fed up looking through my iPod for something to put on, whereas now I feel like I'm spoilt for choice. So yeah, after thinking that through, still even! 2004 for nostalgia, 2010 for future nostalgia.

  4. Really good year. Top 5.

    1. No Age - Everything in Between

    2. Lower Dens - Twin-Hand Movement

    3. Women - Public Strain

    4. Wavves - King of the Beach

    5. Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest

    EP wise - Summer Camp and Spectrals both really good.

    Forgot about Twin Shadow! It's in that top 5/6 somewhere...!

    Other favourites include

    Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Before Today

    Sufjan Stevens - Age of Adz

    Avey Tare - Down There

    Beach Fossils - Beach Fossils

    Male Bonding - Male Bonding

    Cloud Nothings - Turning On

    Kxp - Kxp

    Matthew Dear - Black City

    This thread has inspired me to create smart playlists on iTunes for each of the last 10 years! The largest year being 2010, the best year being either 2004 or 2010. Maybe this deserves it's own thread...?

  5. Yo, was just wondering if anyone has ordered a guitar from abroad before and incurred customs charges?

    I am planning on ordering a guitar from japan and was wondering what I can expect to pay and if there are any ways around the charges?

    I know that claiming it is a gift normally waives the fee, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get away with that in this case. Or will I?

  6. Thank you for that, a vintage model is definitely something I will be considering in the future. However, right now I am just looking for something new and reliable. I have read a number of reviews of the Japanese reissues and they are all very positive.

    Found a Japanese site who retails the guitar at 530 and ships to the UK so have sent off an enquiry email to find out the cost of shipping.
