marathonpacks: Numbers
Interesting how these lists translate into stats:
The U.S. sales numbers of Pitchfork’s top 50 albums. The ones with suspiciously round numbers are estimations based on when an album dropped out of the top 200 and the fact that it has to sell less than 300 copies in a week to do so. If you have verified numbers to fix any mistakes or omissions,…
Happy Xmas from Create Spark. Above’s one of my favourite tracks of 2011, coincidentally with a slightly festive electronic peel of synths near the end.
My favourite albums of the year were:
John Maus ‘We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves’
Girls ‘Father, Son, Holy Ghost’
Destroyer ‘Kaputt’
Suuns ‘Zeroes QC’
St Vincent ‘Strange Mercy’
Moonface ‘Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped’ (ok, yes I know it’s an EP)
The War On Drugs ‘Slave Ambient’
Mogwai ‘Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will’
The Horrors ‘Skying’
Dirty Beaches ‘Badlands’
Bon Iver ‘Bon Iver’
Metronomy ‘The English Riviera’
Wild Beasts ‘Smother’
Gruff Rhys ‘Hotel Shampoo’
That PJ record.
Not discounting all the wonderful records and artists we’ve had the pleasure to represent this year too, which you can peruse here. Special mention should go to Sufjan Stevens and his mind-meltingly amazing live shows, something that was a total privilege to work on. And thanks to Outfit, for not only filling our lives with sonic joy, but also giving me some of the worst hangovers I’ve had for a while.
See you in 2012
Debbie x
