This is really quite difficult.
I’ll have to go by what Last.fm says, which is good – as it means those are the albums I’ve been listening to a lot, rather than picking out 10 albums I think are cool.

My top ten artists, of the last 12 months, are:

10. Grouper
09. Julianna Barwick
08. Crystal Stilts
07. Grizzly Bear
06. The Aislers Set
05. Animal Collective
04. High Places
03. Caribou
02. No Age
01. Beach House

Now, seeing as not all of those artists have released an album in 2008 (I’m still waiting for the next Grizzly Bear album and oh, for another Aislers Set album) – I’ll revise over the past three months.

10. Broken Social Scene
09. M.I.A.
08. Crystal Stilts
07. The Aislers Set
06. Atlas Sound
05. Jana Hunter
04. Animal Collective
03. Department of Eagles
02. Deerhunter
01. Beach House

Without further ado. This is my top ten albums list.

10. Amiina – Kurr
09. Headless Heroes – The Silence of Love
08. No Age – Nouns
07. (I wanted Jana Hnter – There’s No Home here, but that’s from 2007).
so…. let’s have… Atlas Sound – Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See but Cannot Feel
06. Beach House – Devotion
05. Crystal Stilts (EP)
04. Department of Eagles – In Ear Park
03. Grouper – Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill
02. Deerhunter – Microcastle
01. Deerhunter – Wierd Era Contd.

Time to make use of my ‘films I have watched’ archive.
These are my top 10 films that I have seen this year.

They might not all have been released this year and if not, I apologise, I’m catching up.

10 . You, the living.

09. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

08. Let The Right One In.

 
07. Burn After Reading

06. In Search of a Midnight Kiss

05. 2 Days in Paris

04. Hunger

 
03. The Fall

02. Lars and the Real Girl.

01. No Country For Old Men

Poke made a rather lovely Christmas Zoetrope for Topshop this year. If you haven’t played already, there’s a year’s worth of shoes left to win. My life! A year’s worth of shoes! Now, sadly, I can’t win them… but that’s not to say you can’t have a go. There’s plenty of gift cards and 10% off vouchers to win too, if shoes just don’t get you that excited.
