I'm torn on year end lists. Part of me thinks that top 5 lists are like assholes- everyone's got one, and, really, nobody appreciates you whipping yours out in public.

On the other hand, I've made some great discoveries by checking out my friend's assho...uh, I mean, year end lists. So, here's one more for all you list lovers out there!

These are albums I simply couldn't get enough of in 2014. (in fact, I recently found myself on a cross-country flight with no entertainment besides my #1 album, and after 5 straight hours of listening to it on repeat I decided to bump it up the rankings...it really held up after all those listens!)

1. Snowmine // Dialects
Mystery Buildings

2. Mac DeMarco // Salad Days
Captured Tracks

3. Blood Sister // Blood Sister EP
Bloodmoss Records

4. Ariel Pink // Pom Pom
4AD

5. bAd bAd // bAd bAd

Oh, hey, if you made it this far, check out my favorite tracks of 2014:

  • American Wrestlers // I Can Do No Wrong

  • PIZZA TIME // Tu Muchacho

  • Viet Cong // Continental Shelf
  • Hanni El Khatib // Moonlight
  • HOMESHAKE // Cash is Money

Thanks for listening! Looking forward to keeping the solid jams coming in 2015.
