NPSH's Fav Albums of 2009

Hello loyal NPSH blog reader! It's time for the yearly wrap-up of our fav albums of 2009. While it seems much of the world is loosing faith in the album (Sufjan?!), we still think they're pretty alright. Here is what we have dug this year in case you would like to know. Then we can *bond* about our fav records. Or have a Socratic Seminar about our differences.

I'm glad St Vincent, GaGa and The Flaming Lips got their places :)
You guys are heroes.

To Hen: yes, Miike Snow is amaaazzzzinngg! i listened to that everyday for probably close to a month after it came out and still a lot after that. i didn't really get into either Chester French or Mayer Hawthorne's but i've heard lots of good stuff so i'll definitely check them out.
