9. Lies In Disguise- Penis Vs. Vagina (single)


There is something I am missing...oh well. I didn't buy as music as I thought I did.

Things I heard this year that didn't live up to my self created hype:
4. Venetian Snares- Detrimentalist (album)
2. Sigur Ros- Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust (album)
5. From First To Last- From First To Last (album)
1. The Faint- Fascination (album)
3. Crystal Castles- Crystal Castles (album)
8. Fall Out Boy- Folie A Deux (album)
7. most of Norma Jean- The Anti Mother (album)
6. most of Astronautlis- Pomegrante (album)


The last two I still love, but the hype I built around them is something only God could live up to. Again, I am sure I missing something from here.
