It’s time for Late Night Wallflower’s year end wrap ups! First up, our official “all things Philly” representative and lord of the dance floor, Leah Pavlik.
Top ten lists are always a little difficult for me since I have the memory span of a mentally challenged goldfish. This usually results in my end-of-year lists being suspiciously heavy on albums that came out in the past month or so. Instead of doing a top ten list, these are the albums that I just really, really liked this year. There’s probably better albums, or more groundbreaking albums that came out in 2007, but hey - if they don’t stick in your mind enough to remember them, who cares? Minus five scene points for me, I suppose.
Best Summer Album
There is a tie between Against Me!’s New Wave and Minus the Bear’s Planet of Ice. I basically listened to New Wave on a continuous stream all summer long, with short breaks where I cheated on it with Planet of Ice.
Best Surprise
I bought Crime In Stereo’s Is Dead on a whim when it came out in October, not really expecting much. It’s since become a definite favorite for the year, and “…but You Are Vast” gets my nomination for best song. Seriously, even if you think Crime in Stereo took a turn for the worse with this LP, you gotta admit how great that song is.
Keep reading more of Leah’s picks after the jump.
