My list of favorite things of the year cannot be complete without an homage to Girls. They are, without a doubt, my favorite new band of the year. Their musical influences run the gamut, yet their sound is so fresh and unexpected. This probably has a lot to do with the fact that Christopher Owens, the lead singer of the band, grew up in a cult and was disconnected from what influences music today. The end result is a tribute to the old, but taking it somewhere new. One of the best of the year, by far! Here's the video for "Lust for Life", the first track off of their debut album. I decided to post the NSFW version of the video because I think it's more true to the meaning of the song. Yes, it's racey, but powerful. Enjoy.
