Songs of the Year

No order:

Cut Copy, "Lights and Music"
Wolf Parade, "The Grey Estates"
Okkervil River, "Lost Coastlines"
Shearwater, "Century Eyes"
Tilly and the Wall, "Dust Me Off"
T.V. on the Radio, "Crying" & "DLZ"
Islands, "Kids Don't Know Shit"
The Magnetic Fields, "The Nun's Litany"
MGMT, "Kids"

Calexico's "Victor Jara's Hands" is pretty damn good too, but probably not on a short list.
