HALFWAY HOME

We're midway through 2009, so here's a rundown of my ten favorite films and albums of the year so far, each in alphabetical order.

Films:

The Class
Coraline
Lake Tahoe
Moon
Of Time and the City
O'Horten
Revanche
Still Walking
Sugar
We Live in Public

Albums:

Bat For Lashes, Two Suns
The Bird and The Bee, Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future
Andrew Bird, Noble Beast
Camera Obscura, My Maudlin Career
Junior Boys, Begone Dull Care
Metric, Fantasies
Pet Shop Boys, Yes
St. Vincent, Actor
Jill Sobule, California Years
Super Furry Animals, Dark Days/Light Years
