My 2011 so far

1. Mountain Goats - All Eternals Deck (writerly, thoughtfully arranged
folk/rock, with an occasional bracing edge of hysteria)

2. Charlotte Martin - Dancing on Needles (if 'Little Earthquakes' had
had solid but unremarkable lyrics, I would still have liked it a whole
lot)

3. Felice Brothers - Celebration, Florida (character-sketch Americana,
well-played, often tense and a teeny bit heavy and/or weird)

4. They Might Be Giants - Join Us (their usual cheerfully nerdy and
professional selves, but with more interesting, effortful lyrics than
they've done in a decade or more)

5. Jack o'the Clock - How are We Doing and Who Will Tell Us? (they don't
sound like Joanna Newsom, especially not the guy singing, but the
designed-for-sustained-thought stories and sorta-folk-rock,
sorta-venturing-on-its-own-path music remind me of her a bit. Or of a
backwoods, not-using-drugs-because-the-librarian-would-stop-us
Incredible String Band. Or Fairport Convention if none of them were good
singers but all of them were as promisingly odd as young Richard
Thompson.)

6. Cheer-Accident - No Ifs, Ands, or Dogs (as if 'Magical Mystery Tour',
'Countdown to Ecstasy', and 'Appetite for Destruction' had all waited
around to be conceived as parts of the same Slint album - made
math-rocky and melodramatic and adenoidal and dubiously produced, but
nonetheless inspired)

7. Robert Pollard - Space City Kicks (compared to Guided by Voices, the
lo-fi production and arrangements are simply inexpensive and plain, but
almost all of these 2-minute songs sound like real songs to me, which
isn't how I've thought of Pollard for a long time)

8. tUnE-yArDs - w h o k i l l (the arrangements are yelping and
straightforward and vocal-centric but utterly distinct, from each other
and most other things)

9. Hooray for Earth - True Loves (all the most distancing elements of
'80s arena/synthetic rock production, somehow made warm and comforting)

10. Royal Bangs - Flux Outside (guitar-rock, driven at once towards
complexity, pop enthusiasm, and glam-rock sheen)
