It's July 1st, So Here're Some Album Favorites From The Last 6 Months

July 1st, 2011

I don’t write too many album reviews any more (life!), but that don’t mean I haven’t been listening to some cool shit so far in 2011. If you, like me, are wondering just where in the hell this year has gone, then maybe you can take solace in the fact that the glass is half empty. There’s still 6 months to go!
