End of the Year Lists

So as always  there's a lot I haven't check out yet.  Guess what they are...  Odd thing is this year really made me believe in new music, but it was mostly because  of albums from other years.  Especially last year.  Last year was amazing, wish I noticed more at the time.  This year, pretty good, but not as good.  Doing a rush job as always.

Top 10 albums:

1.  Super River - This One Reminds Me the Most of Us
Yeah, so what if my favorite album of the year is my own band's.  I'm not gonna try to fool anyone into thinking otherwise.
2.  Guided By Voices - The Bears For Lunch
3.  Mac DeMarco - 2
4.  Sunfighter - Sweet Machine
Not gonna pretend about my friends either.
5.  Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Mature Themes
6.  Animal Collective - Centipede Hz
Yeah, it's their weakest in a while, but still great, no need to be so harsh, everyone!
7.  The Mallard - Yes On Blood
I hope they'll finally admit they're way better than Thee Oh Sees now.
8.  Mac DeMarco - Rock and Roll Night Club
9.  Guided By Voices - Class Clown Spots a UFO
This one has their best songs of the year.
10.  Tame Impala - Lonerism

 Top 5 Songs:

1.  Guided by Voices - "All of This Will Go"
2.  Super River - "Origami Heart" - not sure if I'm just being modest here, though.
3.  Animal Collective - "Applesauce"
4.  Swans - "The Seer"
5.  Nite Jewel - "In The Dark"

These lists mean nothing.  The best show I went to this year (or ever) was BIG (now Ewox)/Johnny's Retirement Fund in my living room.
