Favorite Albums of 2011.5

As we bring 2011 to the halftime, here's my 10 favorite records of the year so far (everyone else is doing it). It was actually a little harder to whittle it down to 10 than i thought it would be. Anyway, here you have it (in no particular order as per usual):

Gang Gang Dance - "Eye Contact"

Tyler, The Creator - "Goblin"

Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi - "Rome"

Panda Bear - "Tomboy"

PJ Harvey - "Let England Shake"

Xander Duell - "Experimental Tape No. 2, Vol. 1"

Fucked Up - "David Comes to Life"

Destroyer - "Kaputt"

Belong - "Common Era"

Julian Lynch - "Terra"

These are all great. Look for further explanation at the end of December. Hooray!
