not an easy question for me, i've found it to be a vintage year, I've listened to in excess of 100 albums that i've enjoyed, I've discovered a lot of new bands and there's been a lot of older bands releasing new material some building on expectations others, well, less so. So if i look at my most played tracks of the year there's one that leaves the dulcet baritone of Matt Berninger on Clogs 'Last Song' the plinky plonky guitar bounce of Future Islands 'tin man' and the meaty beat of menomena's TAOS in it's wake it's

'geographers - kites'

It's summery and yet warming in the winter chill, It's electronic and guitar, my Misses likes it (often a rarity for me) and it's bouncy but definitely pretty.

you?
