Albums of the Year
For kicks, here’s my top five albums of the year (in order):
1. Chris Thile – Deceiver
2. Sasha – Involver
3. Robbie Seay Band – Better Days
4. Dave Barnes – Brother, Bring the Sun5. Jump – Between the Dim and the Dark
5. Mute Math – Reset EP*
I am apparently mellowing out in my old age. Then again… not too much in the current state of music really impresses me, so I suppose i’m more jaded than I am mellow.
The best lyric of the year comes from the best album of the year. Thile continues to read my mail with junk like, “We kept in touch but the touch I was wanting from her came from girls that scared me too little to love. So all of the thoughts I thought I might tell her turned into songs that until now she’d never heard of.” Mmm hmm… check… affirmative. Over and out.
* This was a self-edit completely unrelated to the Jump Little Children bashing occurring in the comments section. I basically just forgot about the Mute Math album. It is a deserving inclusion in the top 5, even if it’s only an EP.
