[lbo-talk] Rough Trade Shops proves I'm no longer hip

[Gary Mongiovi]

I've heard Arcade Fire--can't say I find them that interesting--and of course Brian Eno, formerly of Hawkwind, though again not my cup o' tea.

 
Moving down the list a bit, I discovered Midlake, a Texas (I think) band, about six months ago. Their latest, The Courage of Others (No. 44 on the list) is superb. Hard to describe--kind of like Robyn Hitchcock meets Neil Young.

Anyone have positive descriptions/feelings for any of the top 25 of Rough
Trade Shops' Top 100 albums of 2010 listed here?

I've heard Caribou at least...
