Como ya es tradicional desde hace un par de años, Stereogum se adelanta y abre fuego, aunque sea por referencias, en una de las tradiciones más fundamentales de la navidad, las listas de lo mejor del año. Digo por referencias porque el blog americano aún no desvela la suya, pero enlaza las de dos revistas de su misma nacionalidad, Paste y Blender.
Los número 1 de ambas listas para mí por lo menos, son sorprendentes y en el primer caso, incluso desconcida, Lil’ Wayne – Tha Carter III y She & Him – Volume One.
El resto es bastante dispar, Nick Cave o TV on the Radio por ejemplo están puntuados de forma muy diferente, pero también tienen cosas en común como My Morning Jacket?, Vampire Weekend, of Montreal, Death Cab for Cutie, Hot Chip o Santogold.
En mi caso, la parte nacional la tengo clara, pero en cuanto a la internacional, me falta bastante. Seguiremos atentos a las listas.
