Anya ,'Showtime'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
My 10-year-old niece is a big fan of Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana. I am not. On the other hand, niece is part of the target demographic. I am not.
I put her in the same category as Barney. I wouldn't object if my hypothetical kid in the proper age bracket were a fan. Just don't make me be in the room while you're watching.
I have 4 out of 30 from that list. However, 2 are in the top 10 (including #1).
TV On the Radio, huh? Hmmm.
I've recently gotten into them. I'm obsessing over all their albums, except so far I have failed to get into Dear Science. Dunno why - it sorta' sounds more 'normal' than their other stuff to me.
Their bizarre and awesome cover of "Mr. Grieves" made me fall hard for them....
Of AV Club's top ten, the only ones that'd make my list are Bon Iver and the Death Cab. I actually didn't bother to pick up TV On the Radio's new album this year. Maybe I should remedy that.
I have 13/30, but eight of them are repeated on more than one list. (I like Vampire Weekend the best, I'm not gonna lie.)
Dear Science is quite fucking good, by the by.

Oh, good. I'll be sure to pick it up. I think I have a handful of songs from Return to Cookie Mountain -- they were interesting songs, if I remember. It's been a while since I listened to them though.
I know Fleet Foxes are going to top my personal list since I've been psycho-obsessed with them for most of the year, and at least they're up there.
I like Dear Science a lot, and I'm sorry I missed them the last time they played Boston.
Mmmm, I've enjoyed a lot out of Fleet Foxes too. They came up in my NME a lot, so I checked 'em out.
The Walkmen? Huh. I saw then open for Spoon and I was underwhelmed to the point of almost falling asleep on my feet, but I guess every band is allowed to have an off night.
