		<description>&lt;p&gt;I like this game, even though the new version of iPhone meant that scrobbling got messed up about halfway through the year. Some of these are kind of surprising and reveal a tendency to overlisten to certain kinds of music at work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Foals - Antidotes&lt;br&gt;
2.  Sigur Rós - með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust&lt;br&gt;
3.  Tokyo Police Club - Elephant Shell&lt;br&gt;
4. Shout Out Louds - Our Ill Wills&lt;br&gt;
5. Beirut - The Flying Club Cup&lt;br&gt;
5. Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago&lt;br&gt;
7. Hot Chip - Made In The Dark&lt;br&gt;
8. The National - Boxer&lt;br&gt;
9. Miracle Fortress - Five Roses&lt;br&gt;
10. Iron &amp; Wine - The Shepherd&#039;s Dog&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;P&gt;I&#039;m not that surprised, especially this year, that Does It Offend You, Yeah? charted.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I loved that album for two months. Now I kinda like it. Does It Offend You, Yeah? are good at making donuts. Excellent in the short term, not something easy to make a diet of, tho.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I liked it a lot too and was really surprised by the 2.3 on Pitchfork.  It&#039;s not on my albums of the year list, but only barely.  But Dawn of the Dead will probably be near the top of my favorite songs list.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, I stopped using last fm when I quit my last job, but here&#039;s my top 10 for the year, according to them.  It&#039;s very girly:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Yelle - Je veux te voir&lt;br&gt;
2. Rihanna - Disturbia&lt;br&gt;
3. Yoko Ono - Sisters, O Sisters&lt;br&gt;
4. Yelle - À Cause des Garçons&lt;br&gt;
5. Danity Kane - Damaged&lt;br&gt;
6. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Black Tongue&lt;br&gt;
7. Annie - I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me&lt;br&gt;
8. Martina Topley-Bird - Valentine&lt;br&gt;
9. Portishead - The Rip&lt;br&gt;
10. Karina Pasian - 16 @ War&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;@&lt;a href=&quot;#c9257035&quot;&gt;Wicked Zoot&lt;/a&gt;: Like &quot;indie rock&quot; it&#039;s ceased being a designation and has started to mean a genre. Although it does get silly when Pink is labeled alternative.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;@&lt;a href=&quot;#c9257065&quot;&gt;madcowdzz&lt;/a&gt;: They&#039;re a highly unlikely band for that many people to like. Considering this is a band that compares their sound to an &quot;arcade machine being thrown into a lake&quot; (it does. And that&#039;s a complement actually. I read the Pitchfork review, and everything the reviewer hated about the record were the same things I liked about it).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I heard Coldplay referred to as &quot;Alternative&quot; today on the radio (Grammy announcement).  How big does a band have to get before they are no longer the alternative?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;This MGMT psuedo-hippie craze with those annoying headbands (have you been to any show in NYC rencently? They&#039;re everywhere) needs to stop.  Can the irony bubble finally burst?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m totally fine with every other album on there though (well, not really JJ but whatever, different strokes)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
