This is the list.

Whoa. Sorry so late (you can breathe now).
I had some catching up to do, but it’s better this
way.I think I’ve given a lot of chances to a lot of
music. So, here it is, the list '09:









#1 Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
AC made their greatest album and MPP became
the soundtrack to approaching fatherhood.


 







#2 Sunset Rubdown - Dragonslayer
SR swordfought its way to #2 after about 50
listens, through which this story of lost youth
gained meaning and momentum. What a
songwriter.



 






 #3 Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca
DP made a big impression early and only got better. 
I hate the boring Nico copy (right in the
middle of the album), but the rest is funny and
quirky and unique. Some of my friends were
unimpressed, but I don’t think they really
listened. That was smug.











#4 Jim O'Rourke - The Visitor
The Visitor - I really like the Jim O’Rourke sound
and Visitor might be his best yet. It’s damn
strange, but stick with it. He has named his
albums after nicolas roeg films but this reminds
me more of Godard.











 #5 Burial/Four Tet
Burial/ Four Tet - Moth is my favorite track of the
year.











#6 The Field
The Field - I can listen to the Field in almost any
situation -- it s great company.



os mix is on the way.
