Top 6 Albums of 2009

This was a weird year for me. I didn't really get into a whole lot of new music, mostly just listened to vinyl from thrift stores. But out of the new music i did purchase, it has been very difficult to narrow it down to my top 5, hence the 6...  So here now is what i've decided are the best releases of 2009. enjoy.

#6
Horehound by The Dead Weather

You ether love Jack White or loathe him. I have enjoyed most of what he's done, and this band blows The Raconteurs out of the water. Just dirty and wonderful with a twist of 50's garage rock. yum.

I Cut Like A Buffalo

#5

Memoirs At The End Of The World by The Postmarks

                                    

A beautiful retro flavored album. Not only do i love the album, but the cover design wins for my favorite cover of the year. Listing to this album makes me feel like i'm James Bond.

No One Said This Would Be Easy

#4

Hospice by The Antlers

Are you alone and dying in a hospital? Well here is your soundtrack. enjoy.

Thirteen

#3

Wind's Poem by Mount Eerie

I've pretty much loved everything Phil Elverum has created, i aspire to be like him musically. 

This album is epic. It puts me in a peaceful trance and melts my brain... in a good way.

Ancient Question

#2

Oohs & Aahs by Say Hi

So rad. Say Hi yet again blows my mind with awesomeness. The only complaint i have of this album is it's much too short. So i have to listen to it 3 times back to back until i'm completely satisfied.

One, Two...One

#1

Tell It To The Volcano by Miniature Tigers

Another band inspired by early Weezer yet sounding way better than Weezer now a days. This is what pop music is all about, catchy, inspiring, and entirely danceable.

The Wolf

Bonus!!!!!

My favorite comp album of the year goes to:

We're Not Kidding: A Tribute To Barry Louis Polisar

Ok, so i did have a hand in doing the album art for this and contributed a song by my band "Your Little Pony" but thats not the only reason this is such a great album:) Childrens music never sounded better than this 60 song double disc heaping helping of bizarre and beautiful goodness.

All I Want Is You by The Vespers

Christmas song of the day. Dec 15th

Sufjan Stevens has a ton of really great christmas songs. This one is called "Put The Lights on the Tree"

Christmas song of the day. Dec 14th

Simone White does a lovely christmas song called 
"Christmas Makes Me Blue (Please Don't Think It's You)"

enjoy.
