hi, my name is Karla and I work at Pure Pop! I love music and I love puppies. this year has been a crazy year for me – I was able to see so many great bands live and had the opportunity to interview some of my all time favorite artists. I had so much trouble trying to pick my top 5, but the above tracks were on HEAVY rotation in my collection. although I’m obsessed with all of these albums, there are a few others on my list that must be mentioned and are worth a listen. sorry I cheated.

6. What Surrounding by UN BLONDE
7. HS by Hello Shark (another local Burly album that was the soundtrack to my year)
8. Mala by Devendra Banhart
9. To Be Close to You by Julia Brown
10. Holo Pleasures by Elvis Depressedly
11. Split 7″ by Alex G and R.L. Kelly
12. Lonely Women by TV Girl
13. S/T by Wren and Mary (local from Burly)!
14. Humble Noon by Lisa/Liza
15. Persona Non Grata by Cosmonauts

happy almost new year 🙂
