-----------
Santigold -- Master of my make believe
Beach House -- Bloom
Japandroids -- Celebration Rock
DIIV -- Oshin

Animal Collective -- Centipede HZ
Divine Fits [really liked this one. Not surprising since I love spoon]
-------------
B.o.B -- Strange Clouds
John Mayer -- born and raised
Jack White -- Blunderbuss
The Shins -- Port of Morrow
Cloud Nothings -- Attack on Memory
Tanlines -- Mixed Emotions


Still trying to figure out what I think about the new Killers album.


Next in Queue:
Lumineers
Two Door Cinema
I'll take suggestions from the crowd. Anybody?


Recent albums I wasn't feeling:
Purity Ring (I gave this two listens...wasn't hitting me)
Dirty Projectors (I might could give this one more listen)
Kimbra (got recommended by a female friend who usually gives me good muzak recommendations -- put me onto Passion Pit back in the day, and god bless her for that* -- but I just wasn't feeling it).
Grizzly Bear: it's so slow.

2012 "just okay" albums:
Dr. Dog
Chromatics
Walkmen
Temper Trap
Killer Mike [might could listen again]
