It’s that time of year again when everyone starts making their lists of what they think are the “best” things in a particular category for that specific year. I hate that “Best of” sh!t though. The problem with best of lists is that they are too absolute- like there can’t be anything else that you might have liked that was better than “THIS.” I mean we all know that Jordan was probably the best to ever play the game of basketball, but am I wrong if Gary Payton is my favorite player of all time? No. It’s preference. So here are a few lists (short & long) of my favorite things from double-09 (all things in no particular order): Favorite Albums: Grizzly Bear- Veckatemist Neon Indian- Psychic Chasms DLO- The Tonite Show With DLO Raekwon- OB4CL II Tune-Yards- Bird-Brains The Dream- Love vs. Money Bibio- Ambivalence Avenue St. Vincent- Actor Animal Collective- Merriweather Post Pavilion Phoenix- Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix Lee Fields- My World Get Back Guinozzo- Carpet Madness Major Lazer- Guns Don’t Kill People… Malakai- Another Sun Atlas Sounds- Logos Volcano Choir- Unmap Mos Def- The Ecstatic Favorite Artists That Will Kill In 2010 Toro Y Moi White Denim Washed Out The XX Memory(Cassette) (Weird)Tapes Drake Girls Theophilus London Maluca Favorite Artists You Might Need To Check Out: U-N-I Eric Hassle Micah James Mayer Hawthorne Nite Jewel Julian Lynch Harlem Favorite New TV Show: Modern Family Favorite Movie This Year: Paranormal Activity Favorite Albums That I Forgot To Put In The First List (lol): The Antlers- Hosppice Little Dragon- Machine Dreams The Very Best- Warm Heart of Africa Fools Gold- S/T Shafiq Husayn- Shafiq En’ A-Free-Ka Sa-Ra- The Age Of Love Where the Wild Things Are OST And there it is. Should have a couple of mixes coming very soon, so get your ears ready.
