lets just forget 2009 ever happened

You may think I’m being dramatic with the title of this blog. After all, 2009 was a great year in life, but I would argue it was a very poor year in music. I didn’t bother to post a top 10 list because I couldn’t come up with ten albums that I absolutely loved.
(For those who are curious, my top seven albums of 2009 - in no particular order – would be: 1. Neko Case 2. David Bazan 3. Passion Pit 4. Dirty Projectors 5. Grizzly Bear 6. The Very Best 7. The Avett Brothers) Oh, and if you’re counting EP’s, Bon Iver’s “Blood Bank EP” was mind-blowingly good.
So, let us leave these youthful 0f 2009 days behind! And let us press onto the bright and shining year that will be 2010. Let us ponder for a moment, some of the anticipated releases:
Joanna Newsom
Midlake
Arcade Fire
MGMT
The National
Jonsi
Spoon has already released a record this year (and it’s great!). And, I’m sure I’m forgetting a whole host of other great albums. And no, Vampire Weekend doesn’t count (That was for you, Brandon). Any other highly anticipated albums I’m forgetting? Please share!
This is what Danielle was saying the other day – that we should definitely not try to figure out the top ten of last year, but look ahead to what is to come in 2010.
I’m quit certain music was more successful than achievements in 2009 for me. I would like to write off 2009’s events and hold on to the music
mmmm….new Joanna Newsom 3 disc. Can’t wait.
