Augustana - Can’t Love, Cant Hurt
Beautiful record. Super moody. Even a bit therapeutic for me when I was in a bad place.
The Academy Is… - Fast Times At Barrington High
This record is a time warp for me. Driving around the suburbs, singing harmonies and talking about girls with Bill & De’Mar. This record was written about those times and its so amazing to be able to associate new audio with old memories.
Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III
This record blew me away. Wayne is so clever and the fact that he references the band No Doubt is brilliant. A Milli is one of the best beats I have ever heard.
m83 - Saturdays = Youth
Moody. Vintage. Synthy. Pop.
The Maine - Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop
My guilty pleasure of the year. This record reminds me of being 17 and for some reason I loved that feeling towards the end of this year.
