the new red chord is pretty good. I really liked it at first but the enjoyment kinda faded fast. I still revert back to "fused together in revolving doors" if I want to listen to them. The latest tBDM was also pretty decent. The last song was killer.

I agree with this quote. I think I'll fall asleep to this tonight.

11/25/2009 1:34:01 PM

haha

11/25/2009 1:34:33 PM

them crooked vultures is the best thing i heard all year

11/25/2009 1:46:35 PM

that Fuck Buttons album is moving higher and higher on my list

and Woods' "Songs of Shame"

i just listened to Sonic Youth's "The Eternal" again at work. how does a band like that make an album without a single good or memorable melody?

i liked art lord and the self portraits more, but i still love future islands.

can there really be 15-20 top albums of the year? then it just turns into "What I listened to in 2009"...
that said,hands down, nothing else close, tops of the year:
sunset rubdown - dragonslayer
distant 2 and 3 (still excellent albums):
pony up! - stay gold
do make say think - other truths

i dl'ed the fanfarlo album a while but finally started listening to it last week. it is outstanding. something like a combination of arcade fire and beirut (to me at least).

but i also loved the sunset rubdown and have just recently gotten around to picking up the DMST album, but i usually love what they put out.

other tops:
neko case
megafaun
grizzly bear
