It’s a stretch to call the Broken Bells an unknown act but with only one other album and a 4-song EP, there’s barely enough songs to do a top 11 list without it being purely comprised of the debut album’s tracklist.  This album has been on repeat in my car for the past month.  It’s fantastic even though it’s getting mediocre reviews.  I think the critics are just idiots…or basketball referees…same difference.  Since everyone knows who they are then I don’t need to explain to you why the lead singer of the Shins and Danger Mouse making music together is an all encompassing great duo.  Instead, I’m going to pimp myself out.  Currently, my book The 111 Best Music Lists of the 2000s is available on Kindle for 99 cents.  That’s less than a dollar (for all you readers who ditched math).  But it will only be 99 cents for another week before it goes back up to its normal $2.99.  So get it now, and always have something to read on your phone, or tablet, or laptop.
