Worst Artists of 2007
Vampire Weekend
Dude, I just really don’t get this band. I’m sure there’s worse out there, but when I hear it I think of people playing Paul Simon covers at your local college pub’s open-mic night.
-Celeste Tabora, Modular

Best Albums of 2007
Battles "Mirrored" (Warp)
They are so good at making you think that they’re all going in different directions, and the moment when all those noises cascade into a beautiful song it’s sonic happiness.
-Celeste Tabora, Modular

Panda Bear "Person Pitch"
This album makes everything bad in the world disappear for the 30 minutes or so it goes for. It’s more like a trance record with all the repetitive loops and harmonies. Completely hypnotic and beautiful.
-Tim Hoey, Cut Copy
