If there are two things in this life of mine that I love, its free stuff, and music. When you put the two together they just seem to complement eachother so well. Stereogum currently has a cover album of Björk’s “Post” on their website which can be downloaded in its entirety for free. You can find that here.

The album contains every track off the original album, redone by an All-Star lineup including Liars, Dirty Projectors, High Places, No Age, and many more (8 more to be exact). As is the case with any of Stereogum’s cover albums, it shares very little with the original work besides lyrics, and the most elemental characteristics.

So go give it a listen while it’s hot.

10. Menomena – Friend and Foe

If album art was the deciding factor of AoTY, then Friend and Foe would be the cream of the crop. This album from the Portland outfit, Friend and Foe feels infinitely more sincere than their debut, I AM the FUN BLAME MONSTER! (an anagram for “The First Menomena Album”) They’ve accomplished a unique form of indie rock that glazes the requisite bass, drums and guitar in piano and tenor saxophone. All of the cuts from the album are guaranteed to get your pleasure center moving, so please, dig in.
