Late entry storming up the charts of my yearly "Best Of" list.

This Smashing Pumpkins re-issue has reminded me how much I enjoy this album.

Possibly my favorite renditions of Christmas tunes for the past 10 years. If I'm going to be listening to Christmas music, this is the disc I reach for first.

Vektor - Outer Isolation
Магнит (Magnit) - День Гнева (Dies Irae) <- just as awesome as it looks.

Awful album, IMHO. So excited for this as <b>Inside In/Inside Out</b> was one of the flawless rock albums of the 00s.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that, but I did find it to be a bit of a disappointment after the debut. Their latest, Junk Of The Heart, is a major rebound in my book, though. I've had it in steady listening rotation since it got released back in September, and it's among my "Top" albums of the year.

Didn't know they had a new one... Off to Spotify!

Hmm. I like it equally. Not disc 2 so much.

Black Keys - El Camino
Florence & the Machine - Ceremonials
Childish Gambino - Camp
Drake - Take Care

I'm discovering quite a bit of post-rock due to Spotify's upgraded radio feature. I'm also really enjoying this band:

If you have any similar recommendations, bring 'em on! :)

[CRM114]

OK, I'm in too. It was five bucks on Amazon yesterday. Don't know why I didn't have this as they've been playing the title track on Sirius incessantly and it's really good.
