The Year in Music
Biggest Surprises - Katy Perry - “Teenage Dream” : A pop song that I actually like.  Surprising indeed. - The Bitters - East General : While East General was dismissed by Pitchfork as mere noise, it remained one of my favorite albums throughout the year.  It’s reminiscent of Siouxsie & the Banshees first release. - Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted...
