Some bands put out actual records that were great from start finish are featured in this podcast like No Age, The Notwist, British Sea Power, Young Widows, The Raveonettes, Pete and the Pirates. A reissue of Nick Lowe's Jesus of Cool made it to the top 20 list. New Jersey did not disappoint with The Gaslight Anthem 's The 59' Sound. Great cross-over alt/punk record, very proud of these native sons. TV on Radio also made it on the list with Dear Science,; She & Him Volume 1 is also steller thru and thru even though it might not be your cup of tea i like this because it is so 50's influenced in all sorts of cool ways making it essentially a true cover's record. For whateve reason we dig "A-Punk" by Vampire Weekend which is also very retro but a likable track, as is "Turn Tail" by Young Knifes from Leicestershire. Lots of Brits on the best of list this year. Anyway, check it out. Looking forward to spinning some new stuff and old wax soon. If you haven't already definetely stop by Head Phone Music to grab some free tracks on last.fm. peace.
