The Album of The Year 2010

Un anno per me difficile quanto importante. La mia vita è cambiata e con lei anche quella di coloro che mi stanno vicino. Avevo pensato di non fare il disco. Ma sarà un anno che non dimenticherò mai. Alla fine ho chiamato ale per la copertina ed eccolo qua.

Buon download, Buon Natale e Buon 2011 di cuore, a tutti.

The Top Of The Tops 2010

Basta, quelli di Les Inrockuptibles mi hanno rotto. Ogni anno fino all'ultimo minuto ad impazzire per trovare quale sia la loro classifica centellinata manco fosse d'oro. I francesi escono quindi definitivamente dalla Top Of The Tops sostituiti da quelli di Stereogum. E così, tirate le somme delle classifiche di Rough Trade, MOJO, Q, NME, Uncut, Rumore, Spin, Rolling Stone, Time, musicOMH, Billboard, The Guardian, Pitchfork, Stereogum, questi sono i risultati:

1. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs (96 pt)
2. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (69 pt)
3. LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening (44 pt)
4. Beach House - Teen Dream (39 pt)
5. Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid (31 pt)
6. Caribou - Swim (30 pt)
7. The National - High Violet (27 pt)
8. These New Puritans - Hidden (24 pt)
9. Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest (22 pt)
10. John Grant - Queen Of Denmark (21 pt)
