New albums I've gotten this year: Vampire Weekend, The Charlatans, REM, The Last Shadow Puppets, Fleet Foxes, Coldplay (yes, Coldplay!)
New albums I was going to get but decided to give a miss: Death Cab for Cutie, My Morning Jacket, Wolf Parade, Portishead, Sigur Ros
Holdovers from '07: Band of Horses, Klaxons
Guilty Pleasures: The Kooks, Estelle, The Hoosiers, Adele, Madonna, Duffy, Robyn, The Ting Tings (!!!)
From the Archives: Presence by Led Zeppelin (in lieu of MMJ, and awesomely Zep's most underrated album), Endless Summer by The Beach Boys (in lieu of any Beach Boys inspired indie band from now until the end of time), A Rush of Blood to the Head by Coldplay (a secret success when removed from the context of everyone who loves and hates them)
Albums that are going to win me a lot of white people indie cred: Not Applicable
Likelihood I'll go get the new Hold Steady or Girl Talk records so I can win back some cred: Slim, None. Respectively.
Harvey Milk?: More '90s revisionist nonsense.
