You invariably find yourself making selections based on what you feel your audience expects of you (seriously, do you really expect some cat from the Village Voice to namecheck anything that isn't already hipster-approved?), or going against the grain call attention to yourself for being a bad-ass outsider who dances to his own drum.

Quite frankly. even if I was able to come up with an honest year-end list, it would be rendered obsolete five minutes later because music is always so of-the-moment with me.

Personally, I enjoyed Porcupine Tree's “Fear Of A Blank Planet” and awful lot and think Springsteen's “Magic” is his best in many, many moons. Where are they?

And finally… Here's my hipster license for you to proudly revoke. I did not get Animal Collecitve's “Strawberry Jam” whatsoever.
