erykah badu made #13 on pitchfork's top albums of the year. u go gurl.
also made me happy: hercules & love affair at #9. i've been totally into [late 80s and] early-mid 90s house music as of late; see: here.
also portishead at #2, and of course, fleet foxes at #1.
& even though i haven't heard it yet, big up jayce clayton a.k.a. dj/rupture on #10.
