Voting for the
Teenage Kicks Readers Poll of your favorite albums and songs of the year closes this Sunday, December 21. Details
here. A music enthusiast from Philadelphia gave us this list of his favorite albums:
1. Mates Of State-
Re-Arrange Us Having played this cd a thousand times, I've come to the conclusion it doesn't suck
2. Vampire Weekend-
Vampire Weekend For all you cardigan wearing, ivy league attending, afro-pop referencing nerds out there...have I got a record for you.
3. MGMT-
Oracular Spectacular A younger, hipper Flaming Lips.
4. The Explorers Club-
Freedom Wind Delivers everything you loved about the Beach Boys, minus John Stamos.
5. The Raconteurs-
Consolers of the Lonely As side projects go, holds up much better than the "Meg White sex tape"
6. Attic Lights-
Friday Night Lights This being an obscure import release, I feel smugly superior including it in my top 10.
7. Santogold-
Santogold Santi White: hip hop hipster goddess.
8. Glen Campbell-
Meet Glen Campbell The shine came off a little when I heard he was spoon fed these songs. But c'mon, Glen Campbell doing a Mats cover!
9. Brazilian Girls-
New York City Though this is their third album, I've only recently discovered they're not actually from Brazil.
10. Tokio Hotel-
Scream Finding out the lead singer is really a guy...embarrassing. Still thinking he's cute...disturbing.
