Don't call it a cliché

In order of ‘most played’ on my iPod.
1. Cut Copy – In Ghost Colors (what the hell did I dance to before this?)
2. Bon Iver – For Emma, forever ago (so sweet I could almost cry. Almost.)
3. Fleet Foxes – Sun Giant EP/s/t (so obvious. But so true. I gave this album to my dad for Christmakkah)
4. TV on the Radio – Dear, Science (how did I ever forget about these geniuses?)
5. The Dodos –Visitor (text received after Dodos weeknight show in October when I, the responsible 9-5er left promptly after the last song “we are drinking with the Dodos. You suck.” Thanks friends.)
6. Raveonettes – Lust lust lust (I would, 100%, become a lesbian to get to hear Sharin Foo’s voice every day)
7. Sigur Ros – Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (no one has any idea what they are saying and I still love this. What did I fall asleep to before this? Oh right, their last album.)
8. Lykke Li – Youth Novels (dear Sweden, how does such great music and so many hot chicks come out of such a boring country? Shhh. I love you.)
9. Portishead – Third (probably prompted by an outstanding, emotional Coachella set)
10. Deerhunter – Microcastle/Weird Era cont. (even if the album cover makes me cringe.)

Almost made it: Los Campinsinos – Hold on now, youngster (I think my days of seeing them for free at the Horseshoe are over.)
