Put Your back N 2 it is an excellent record. Good call.

Right on, that DIIV record is fantastic. easily in my top 5. And I forgot all about Swing Lo Magellan which I think will age far better than many of the other critically acclaimed records of the year (see: Grimes, etc)

With all the free music services and a workplace that allows for radio-play it's actually extremely easy to listen to that many albums. I mean just a new album one day per week nets you 50+.

After Seek Magic I put Memory Tapes on my "I will buy anything this dude puts out" list. Player Piano was such a letdown I burned the list, buried the ashes in the ground and salted the earth. I honestly have no idea what to expect from this guy.

What helped for me was going somewhere w/o internet or even basic cable. When my wife and in-laws and I would go to VT for skiing, the downtime was filled with much bourbon and 80pg chunks of Infinite Jest.

To be honest, I was reading like 10 pages per day. Was at it since September. Such a loose, wobbly plot doesn't really require the attention of, say, several-hour-sized chunks of uninterrupted reading. I really enjoyed DHALGREN for the most part. It was certainly like nothing else I've ever read.

Just finished Delaney's DHALGREN. Looking forward to reading a book that is not 800 pages long, and to a lesser extent, one that isn't supersaturated in postapocalyptic gangbangs. TO A LESSER EXTENT.

SAGA is far an away my favorite title of the year. MANHATTAN PROJECTS might be #2. I can't recall just when ANIMAL MAN started, but the Foreman stuff, if that was this year, would be in the running.
