Oh, well, I forgot, that great Nacho Libre in the corporate America sky said we weren’t supposed to like indie rock anymore last decade. How high did you want me to jump again, sir?

It is of course with tongue placed firmly within metaphysical cheek that I deliver this “year-end award,” seeing as I’ve been running this site for nine years now and never do such awards, and probably won’t next year.
