I Cannot Hear You Because I Am in My Yacht.

Two observations I will salvage from my previous night's curious EPIC FLAIL (h/t Kat and cat!):

Robin Thicke is yacht rock for poptimists.

Kanye West's thesis in 808s and Heartbreak is a standard break-up line, "how could you do this to me," but he eschews typical pronunciation ("how could you DO this to me?") for his own megalo version: "how could you do this to ME?"

I was gonna make a year in confessional mix, but instead I might just make a YEAR IN YACHT disc. And now, the top ten list you will not find here:

The Top Ten on My Yacht
1. Robin Thicke - Something Else
2. Studio - Yearbook 2
3. The Very Best - Very Best Mixtape
4. Solange - Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams
5. Anthony Hamilton - The Point of It All
6. Al Green - Lay It Down
7. Beyonce - I Am...Sasha Fierce
8. Taio Cruz - Departure
9. Rex the Dog - The Rex the Dog Show
10. Supergrass - Diamond Hoo Ha
