Since I have become a Dad, my attention span is not great. I don't really have the patience to listen to entire albums over and over again. So, I stick to certain tracks more than others.
This is a list of songs that I more or less loved this past year.
The order is alphabetical by artist (artist?).

Wilco - Either Way
So, that's it.
If I had to pick a favorite album, it would have to be...
Southeast Engine's A Wheel Within A Wheel
I'd say it's more similar to Okkervil River than anything. Except they love Jesus. Which I can forgive, if the music is good enough.
Get it. It's good.

I totally agree. But you should make less time for your kid and more for music.
