Elliseamos, do you want this styled as Album Title - Artist Name, vice versa, or does it not matter? I guess I can always go with italics or quote marks to distinguish which is which.

Brett wrote:Album Title - Artist Name

is preferred, thanks for asking and clarifying, b/c i do not pretend to know which is which for everything that's out there.

thanks dude

That album just doesn't stop.

I know for a fact you got Lightning Bolt this year. Where is it?

Lightning Bolt, along with a Shinyribs record called Gulf Coast Museum, didn't make the list. I purchased them but didn't play them enough to rank them.

Nah, we could do either

Hey Pete, there was a song from Reflektor that played on the All Songs Considered end of year review a few weeks ago. I liked it.
