Last year, in lieu of a traditional “top albums of the year” post, I tried to quantify which albums were most earworm-y, a process that took most of a work day. Luckily for my current employer, Last.fm now tracks play counts by album, which takes most of the effort out of the process.

In order of awesomeness, five new summery albums (Cosmogramma would be fighting for #1, but I don’t really think it counts as “summery”):

- Delorean – Subiza
- The New Pornographers – Together
- The Hold Steady – Heaven is Whenever

I realize I don’t write many unabashedly uplifting posts, so here is a list of five things that made me happy recently:
- My friend J-Wy got into MICA, and will be living with me for a few weeks. Sorry if that ruins the surprise for people she hasn’t told yet.

Update: It is €129. So, never mind.

- Finally, proof that guinea pigs can code.
- Getting paid. Paychecks are tremendous, but direct deposit rules the schools.
