I thought I'd do a roundup of some my favorite music from this year. This list contains the CDs that have been in heavy rotation and sung loudly during my commute. Some even captured the attention of my boys. The big boy is now officially a fan of Spoon, The Black Keys, Phoenix, and Arcade Fire. His music has to have interesting sounds and a good beat. No folk music for him just yet.
Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can
MGMT - Congratulations
Basia Bulat - Heart of My Own
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
Spoon - Transference
Sarah Harmer - Oh Little Fire
Kathryn Calder - Are You My Mother
Blitzen Trapper - Destroyer of the Void
Kristen Hersh - Crooked
Juliana Hatfield - Peace and Love
Frazey Ford - Obadiah
Broken Bells - Broken Bells
The Black Keys - Brothers
Band of Horses - Infinite Arms
Crooked Still - Some Strange Country
Horse Feathers - Thistled Spring
