Tribe
Car seat headrest
Chilis

Drawing a blank.. didn't even like chili at first but it really grew on me.. a lot of OK albums I could throw on afterwards, maybe.. really starting to dig the new metallica..

[Birds in Hell]

This thread's reminded me I haven't heard the Pixies, RHCP or Tribe Called Quest records yet.

As others have said, I often end up discovering a bunch of stuff I'd missed through end-of-year lists, so I'll probably post an updated list at some stage.

[4/5]

Conor Oberst - Ruminations

Far and away my favorite solo album he's put out.

[William Bloke]

I have lots to still listen to but for now this will do as a reasonable approximation:

1. Camp Cope - Camp Cope


2. Frederico Albanese - The Blue Hour


3. Black Mountain - IV


4. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Skeleton Tree


5. Elizabeth Cook - Exodus of Venus


5 Other Good Ones
King Gizard and the Wizard Lizard - Nonagon Infinity
Scott & Charlene's Wedding - Mid Thirties Singles Scene
Psychic Ills - Inner Journey Out
Xenia Rubinos - Black Terry Cat
Nels Cline - Lovers

Been a pretty good music year for mine.
