Well yeah, I would expect from the New Yorker the aural equivalent of soft hand-woven free trade wool and meticulously whisked matcha tea, and that's exactly what you get. Nothing wrong with that!

Dry Cleaning and Snail Mail are names that really put me off, but I'm sure that quotidian naming strategy has been used by good bands so this is irrational prejudice. "Bog Roll" is still waiting for any up and coming indie sensations to claim though.

deadline for submitting to that Uproxx critics poll was last night (but seems to be extended a bit). Behind in my listening this year, so not gonna submit. Others are skipping it because its major label owned or weren't invited.

yeah ... not a great year for new albums, imo.
none of these would make my list (except Moctar, maybe), which isn't the point ... what bums me out is that i'm not exactly head over heels over my top 5-10, either, and i tend to be a glass-half-full person about this particular topic.

Stoner HiVe #1 was Domkraft - Seeds.
I enjoyed these albums as late discoveries via the recent lists:
Ferocious Dog – The Hope: Was already on a Pogues kick, this one has more emotional heft compared to their previous albums.Novelty Island - How Are You Coping With This Century?: Beatles worship can still feel fresh when done right. At least four videos worth seeing too.
I haven't been crazy about Romano's country pop stuff, but I like the power pop of Kissing the Foe. If anyone finds how to buy Modern Nature - Island of Noise digital files without buying the vinyl, let me know.

How Chuck Eddy made his list---
This year I’d say my main sources were “Apres Ski” and “Ballerman” compilations of songs young Germans evidently trinken bier to on vacation (responsible for five of the top 20 below and one more of the 15 also-rans), lists Dave Cooper Moore and Frank Kogan periodically emailed out to a small group I’m part of and/or blog-posted, stray and fleeting mentions by facebook friends, maybe weekly song reviews in The New York Times “Playlist” feature, and new-release spreadsheets I get paid to peruse every Wednesday for Napster/Rhapsody.
