I'm seeing this Vampire Weekend album in many top album lists but I've still not got round to listening to it.

Found another album that would make my best-of list.

Tim Hecker "Virgins"

This is a haunting, fear inducing album of experimental dark electronics/piano. I have been seeking music that reminded me of Animal Collective's "Infant Dressing Table" and never really found it until now. This sounds like the greatest horror movie soundtrack of all time.

Fantano had 'Virgins' at number 1 on his year-end list. I think it's as good a choice as any.

Really a great album if you have the patience for that kind of music.

so I'm retarded for thinking his views on most music is subpar. way to defend your man crush breh.

I don't think you're retarded, just wrong for calling him a "goofy faq".

I also don't agree with many of his opinions but he is very good at what he does.

well of course I don't mean that literally. But he does just he seems to follow whatever the general "hipster" thoughtsphere follows. Anyone who gives that piece of shyt Aeroplane over the sea anything more than a 2 loses my respect for their opinions indefinitely. He got his lane though and people listen to him en masse so what do I know :manny:
