Albums, singles, concerts, music videos, transcendent TV performances, songs getting stuck in your head in a really good way—whatever! This way, we can end the week on a good note, be polite since we spend so much time blabbing, gank recommendations from the bestest music-blog readers in the world (oh, you know it’s true, hush), and have a great excuse to keep links to all our year-end stuff on the front page over the weekend. Happy New Year and happy commenting, everyone!

@TimGunn: For what it’s worth, I saw Hot Chip in September and had a wonderful time.
I was gonna say Hot Chip at Terminal 5 was the best, but then that other guy hated their album. Whatevs, I danced so hard I thought I was gonna have a heartattack.
Best album for me was probably Shearwater Rook
R.E.M. in Chicago. Saw ‘em in Atlanta on the same tour, but the Chicago show was miles better.
