by Staff & Devendra Banhart | 00.00.0000

Now, over the eight days and sixteen lists that we’ve published, a few clear winners have stood out, and there have been a couple of overlaps between the lists so today we have the most eclectic list that we have received to date from Devendra Banhart. The bearded folkie has spent much of this year holed-up on a boat recording his follow-up to 2005’s Cripple Crow. Here are his slightly more unconventional selections for the coveted album of the year slot:
