There are a lot of releases considered pivotal that came out this year that I didn't listen to or didn't listen to enough to include on this list, or I didn't care to listen to (Fleet Foxes, bah!) This list is mostly what I listened to a lot of and played a bunch on my radio program, which by the way is on every Tuesday evening at 9 p.m. on KAOS 89.3 FM in the fair city of Olympia. It is called Dark Woods Casino Party, and these are the HIT RECORDS of the year!

Every time I hear a song by the Homosexuals I just want to jump up and down and dance around like crazy. How can a band make me so ecstatically happy? Every time "Prestel" or "Astral Glamour" or "Vociferous Slam" comes on, I have a need to run outside and start throwing myself at things, and dance with neighborhood cats. It is odd how a thing like a song can change my disposition entirely.
