List

Like many people, I love lists and rankings. Since I was a kid, I’ve kept lists in my head of favourite movies, books, songs, colours, people, and so on. I think it comes from pouring over the backs of baseball cards and memorizing stats and trivia.

Here are my favourite CDs so far this year:

• Arcade Fire – Funeral
  

• Beck – Guero
  

• Metric – Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?
  

• 
  Wilco – A Ghost is Born
