Perhaps because I've been known to sacrifice my ears by scouring through a lot of music to try and find the good. Perhaps because I once gave him or her (the questioner) a mix CD, which I have also been known to do. Or perhaps because he or she thinks I am a pretentious douche and wants to stay away from whatever I recommend.
I must admit, I love few things more than sharing music with people - especially when that music really strikes a chord with them. This is exactly why I have found myself working for a radio station more than once. It is also why, when the station manager wasn't looking, I changed the playlist so that "On A Neck, On A Spit" by Grizzly Bear would always play during my shift. It is also why I played "Seaweed" by Fruit Bats during an Americana music program I helped produce. It is also why I post articles about music right here on my blog. I could say that I write all these posts for myself, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't hope someone might discover something.
So, at the risk of sounding like a pretentious douche, here are ten records that I can't stop listening to:
Passion Pit - Manners
"The Reeling"
