Although I really like the Blackout Beach record, I think Fucked Up should win this award.

It’s great you included Pegatively Nositive, too.

I shoulda suggested Fucked up…a very interesting release indeed. Call me sleepy, but until I heard the Q promo, I had no idea they are Canadian…though the brilliance should have been my first clue. Love the band and the album. I’ll be checking out Martha Wainwright now…couldn’t get past her pretty brother (whom I also love in spurts - LOL)…now I’m interested in the other half of this dynamic progeny of Loudon and Anna. The self indulgence of Rufus is bothersome, but his recent performance on Spectacle shows he will continue to grow as a performer and a singer, no matter what his personality does. I also enjoyed his cameo in the Cohen flick.
