I am admittedly behind the curve when it comes to Denton bands, but if Brave Young Lion is any indication of what's going on up there, I may have to make the trip north on 35 a little more often (more often = more than zero times per year.) RIYL: Harlem Shakes

CRUISE YOUR ILLUSION

I missed this one in 2013 but, thankfully, the gentlefolk at Succulent Teeth didn't.  Released back in March on Fat Possum Records (Youth Lagoon, El-P, UMO) this most certainly would have been on the top 50. Yet another reason why all 'best of' album lists are arbitrary and self-indulgent.  One of my best character traits!
