Top 10 of 2009 (thus far)

It snuck up on me, but 2009 is officially half way over. Since that is the case, I feel compelled to do what I did at this point last year: compile a list of my top ten albums of the year as it stands. There won't be any eulogizing on this list - I'll save that for December.

1. Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion

2. Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca

3. Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest

4. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz!

5. Sunset Rubdown - Dragonslayer

6. Bat for Lashes - Two Suns

7. Handsome Furs - Face Control

8. Alela Diane - To Be Still

9. Dinosaur Jr. - Farm

10. Japandroids - Post-Nothing
