Thank fuck Cee-Lo isn't #1. I hate that song. I'm gonna call it now. Plans by Birds Of Tokyo will be #1. Now watch me be very, very wrong.

BLOODBUZZ OHIO #31 - WOOP! :D

The Boxer Rebellion
I have heard the new album though I'm not sharing it, don't want to get the kind fellow who gave it to me in any trouble. Don't wanna give away too much but I will say this... well... despite the new record Union and Exits are still amazing so I guess I can still count myself as a TBR fan.

Solitude Is Bliss - #33 Now that is surprising. I was expecting top 10 for sure. :confused:

Doncamatic beating out all the other Gorillaz songs... didn't see that coming. #37. Not too shabby. I lost my list... Bloodbuzz Ohio, Ready To Start and Spanish Sahara were definately on there though.

#43 This is interesting, I was expecting it to be higher. I'm glad it's not though, not a real fan of this song.

Ready To Start is dissapointingly low.

And those sketches Triple J keep chucking in really annoy the shit out of me. I mean... why? Who possibly enjoys these things?

I was expecting Evil Eddie, Gorillaz and Kings Of Leon to chart much higher. :confused: Still, only one National song has gotten in so far and it's not even their most popular track from this year. Here's hoping Bloodbuzz Ohio goes on to get a decent position!

Yossarian is lonely and his phone has low battery
This has got to be the greatest thing I have ever read. :D

Thread where the elusive and powerful Yossarian posts a picture of his face
Nice to finally have a face to a name Yossi. ;) Gotta say I wasn't expecting you to look like my little brother though.

Yossarian has never loved nobody fully.
Yossarian is back? Life has meaning again! :lol:

Love Amongst Ruin
I've known about Home for ages. Good song, not sold on the vid though. The new single will be Alone. I'm glad, it's one of my favs off the album.

I'm actually predicting a lot of Australian artists will get in the top 10 this time, they don't usually. I have bets on Little Red, Washington and Birds Of Tokyo all making it.

Arcade Fire
The single is City With No Children. Shame given it's one of my least favourites off the record. I highly doubt the album will be of new original studio material. Probably a live album or something.
-
Kaiser Chiefs
Imo, Employment is one of my favourite albums EVER. YTAM was very, very dissapointing. And the 3rd one was utter rubbish. I've almost lost all respect for this band which is a shame given Employment was SO GOOOOD! :cry:
-
The Strokes
I feel the same. I really don't know what to expect, so I'm not getting my hopes up for anything.

Albums of the Year 2010 - Counting Down!
Foals in the top 10? The National in the top 2? Famous Old Painter approves! Nice to hear High Violet was almost gonna tie for #1, it deserves the spot. All in all, a surprising list! There were a lot of albums I was quite surprised didn't chart higher, and a few which charted a lot higher than expected.
-
White Lies
It's been totally hammered in the reviews, and most people I've spoken to haven't had many kind things to say about this album at all. Which makes me feel bad I guess because I view this is a massive improvement over their debut.

Is This It album covers
I don't really like either to be honest, though I voted for the black and white one as that's the one I have and knew about long before I saw the spirals one.

The National
Insanely jealous

The National
The National didn't come to Adelaide did they? Cuz if they did, I'm gonna have to do a Bryan and kill someone. Crankin' Abel at the moment. Such a good song.

The National
Alligator and High Violet are two of my favourite albums of all time. Can't describe em. Never got into Boxer for some reason.

Love Amongst Ruin
I'm glad we think alike! I said the same thing on another forum and got completely flamed by Placebo fans. It's not like I'm a Placebo hater either, I had to hear about LAR from somewhere. It's just that if I were given the choice between listening to Trigger Happy Hands or So Sad for instance, I'd easily know which one I'd pick. I never noticed the 20 Years connection before, but you're totally right with that one. That must be why I like the video so much. Amazing stuff. Oh, and LAR was in my top 10 albums for 2010 as well.

Love Amongst Ruin
Really digging the album, despite the stupid title/artwork combo. I actually find it a lot better than a lot of the post-Hewitt era Placebo.
