On Nearly 100 People Choose Their #1 Album of 2010

Ugh. The Kanye monotony was mind-numbing. I realize these are subjective (durr). But still, there are glaring omissions. I guess that these respected listener types mostly went with the "total album sales equals good" aka the popularity contest picks.

Here's my list of 21 I really dug this year in no particular order:

1. Tomorrow, In a Year - The Knife/Mt. Sims/Planningtorock ('Colouring of Pigeons' is incredible)

2. The Magician's Private Library - Holly Miranda

3. Disconnect From Desire - School of Seven Bells

4. The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night - The Besnard Lakes

5. Forgiveness Rock Record - Broken Social Scene

6. Treats - Sleigh Bells

7. Omni - Minus the Bear

8. Further - The Chemical Brothers

9. Does it Look Like I’m Here? - Emeralds

10. Teen Dream - Beach House

11. There Is Love In You - Four Tet

12. Transference - Spoon

13. Swim - Caribou ('Odessa' is darkly beautiful)

14. Cerulean - Baths

15. Crazy For You - Best Coast (how did no one pick this???)

16. The Way Out - The Books (again, not mentioned. Monkey demands answers! /Mr. Show)

17. Crystal Castles II/CC 2010/whatever you want to call it - Crystal Castles

18. The Other Side of Zero - Elizabeth & The Catapult

19. Ring - Glasser

20. Heligoland - Massive Attack

21. Am I Real? - Nite Jewel

22. The Best of Nelly Furtado - Just kidding.

On And Now, An Adorable Bunny Eats A Dandelion

This video needs some dramatic music like "Night on Bald Mountain" to make it more menacing. The poor flower :(

On Bear With Three Legs Walks Like People!

Why did I also think of Python and Cleese specifically when I saw this? Is it just the silly walk sketch? For some reason I think of the Lingerie Shop Bank Robber skit. *shrug*
