The music list pretty much matches what I listened to and loved this year too. The Jens Lekman and Panda Bear are still on my wish list (hint hint :) Add Kanye West, Beirut, Burial and Manu Chao.
As far as movies go, I've only seen No country- absolutely loved it! and Superbad- heelarious!
Maybe we can catch a movie when I drop into Seattle next month ??
Good list. I am pleased with all those films. Man how big of a jerk was that american flag tie guy in King of Kong.
