Broken Bells - Citizen

This song makes me moist. What a beautiful tune.

BTW, the singer is the lead from The Shins - James Mercer along with Danger Mouse…


Wilco - Ashes of American Flags

Makes me feel warm and sad at the same time. Brilliant song and group.


More Best Albums 2009 - Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca

From the album Bitte Orca I give you Dirty Projectors and their varied and sumptuous music. The song is called ‘Stillness is the Move’:


Best Albums 2009 - Sonic Youth - The Eternal

Sonic youth has been making new and original music since 1978. This 2009 release is more edgy and alternative than anything out there right now and shows what true artists left to their own exploration can do. Also nice to see a mature group of rockers not bent on self-destruction.

Best Albums 2009 - Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion

Fucking amazing group - think trip hop meets Beach Boys meets Cocteau Twins after they hang out with Pink Floyd. BTW, I think this song’s about masturbation…

My favorite Albums of 2008 - Part 5

Interpol is just cool. Period.

From 2008 Album: “Our Love to Admire” comes the song “No I in Threesome”:


My favorite Albums of 2008 - Part 3

My Morning Jacket was a pretty Countrified band from the backwoods that has recently changed course and opened up their sound. This one from their 2008 album “Evil Urges” entitled “Evil Urges” reminds me a little of the Starsky and Hutch theme song. Then it gets to rockin’ and we forget all about the 1970s:


My favorite Albums of 2008 - Part 2

TV on the Radio’s 3rd album “Dear Science” is freakin’ epic. I couldn’t even begin to stick them in a genre - funk, rock, psychedelic, blues, jazz…you pick. They are pretty amazing at changing directions and building things to a monstrous peak only to come crashing down with beauty, base and sexy shaking thunder. Check out the opening song “Halfway Home” - gives me shivers…


My favorite Albums of 2008 - Part 1

Fleet Foxes was a nice surprise with their new take on folk music combining modern rock with folk simplicity and natural, Earth-y subjects and sounds.

The first song that caught my attention was their “White Winter Hymnal” from their first, self-titled album (they also have an EP entitled “Sun Giant”.)
