It was a great year for music but how can I enhance my ipod experience?

Some comments on some of these, just my opinion, which might not be worth anything.
The Temper Trap - seem to be all the rage in UK. I have no idea why. Another overhyped media sensation I think. These bands are a dime a dozen these days, and its annoying. No different than rappers who keep using autotune.
Hayden - One of the best songwriters in Canada, always consistent, always makes good/great records. This guy is awesome, I'll always get his records.
The Big Pink - horrible. One of the suckiest records I've ever heard. Downloaded from emusic based on some positive reviews and will delete it. You can enhance your ipod experience by doing the same.
Grizzly Bear - amazing. Veckatimest is my favourite album of the year. These guys deserve the press.
One of my other favourites this year..Monsters of Folk. Made up of M. Ward, Jim James, and Conor Oberst. I am usually skeptical of "supergroups" but these guys made a great record. Saw them live and they killed it.
