Balmorhea – Bowsprit
I was just looking at my last.FM and was sort of shocked to see how disproportionate my time spent listening to Do Make Say Think was. I then realized that the average Do Make Say Think track is often significantly longer than many of the other artists making this lack of balance even more.. lacking. Wow.
The full list is here:

I just finished my top 25 albums and top 10 tracks of the year list.
It’s ridiculously difficult to do these. Tomorrow I’d easily want to swap some of the “honorable mentions” with a number of the current albums that made the cut. Oh well. If you’re interested in seeing it I’ve posted the albums here and the songs here.
