Artwork by the talented and generous Adam Sarpalius . The final list is here. We have been working on this Absolute (sarcasm) Best Songs of 2009 list all year, updating it at the end of every quarter. I was only going to have PMA's Top 50 of the year listen, but I couldn't narrow it down beyond the top 75. This list will represent and acknowledge some of the artists I felt had to be left out of our Best Albums of 2009 list. As always, I upheld only one rule [...]

Sunset Rubdown: Idiot Heart [zshare]
This week, we start our two-part salute to 2009.This year was full of music worth hearing, and it was really hard to condense it into two radio shows. With tracks from Dirty Projectors, Sunset Rubdown, and M. Ward, this is part one of our look at this year's best.The Needle Drop: 12-19-09Subscribe via iTunesPlaylist:Neon Indian- Deadbeat SummerSimon Joyner- Roll OnDirty Projectors- Temecula
Ancora una volta vi proponiamo una classifica dei migliori album del 2009 , quella di RateYourMusic . Di RateYourMusic ne abbiamo parlato più volte qualche mese fa attraverso una serie di classifiche a tema. In poche parole è un sito web con un database sterminato (in ambito musicale, se non è il più grande poco ci manca) di artisti e uscite discografiche. Le classifiche di RateYourMusic sono molto importanti perchè raccolgono le valutazioni di migliaia di utenti (non sprovveduti) e alla fine è veramente difficile che un buon album abbia una media voto bassa e [...]
Do you guys realise it's been ten years since every time you turned on the radio that 'we're gonna party like it's 1999' song was playing? I can not tell you how thankful I am that no 80s rockstar decided to write a song about '09. Could you just imagine the Bon Jovi ballad, 'it's already 09 and we still don't know what to call this crazy decade?'In the absense of that smash hit, let me share
Here is the much-anticipated conclusion to my top 50 songs of the 2009 list (if you haven't already take a look at the first 25 and read the foreword/ground rules). These are my favorite 25 songs of the year. As before, there's a link by each song choice where you can download/hear the song or you can get all the tracks in a handy zip file by clicking this link . Let me know your favorite songs of the year in the comments. Thanks for reading! 25. Harlem Shakes – Sunlight [...]
![[Tracks] Moonface - Dreamland EP](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2202825_lg.jpg)
We got an introduction to Spencer Krug's latest project, Moonface , a while back when the Sunset Rubdown gang was trying to fill time before Dragonslayer dropped. The two song EP sounded like classic Krug, but less busy then Sunset Rubdown and definitely a lot less noisy than Wolf Parade . Just Krug in full story teller mode over a simple instrumental. In short, it was fantastic. Now Krug is releasing a new Moonface EP, Dreamland , as a completely solo act. Generously, Krug is offering the whole thing digitally using the pay-what-you-want [...]
One of my Needle Drops tipped me off about this, so I have to say thanks to him for doing so.Spencer Krug, who blew me away earlier this year with a new Sunset Rubdown album, has a new EP out, which you can grab with a pay-what-you-want donation. It's released under the moniker "Moonface", and the title is Dreamland EP: marimba and shit-drums. The title says what you're getting, but don't be so
Ubiquitous Canadian Spencer Krug always seems to have something on the go with one of his associated bands or acts. Be it Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, Frog Eyes, Fifths of Seven, or Swan Lake, he's a busy man. Anyway, now he's making some music on his own under a new moniker, Moonface. Moonface's first release on Jagjaguwar is the verbose Dreamland EP: Marimba and Shit-Drums . It's only one track long - and that track lasts twenty minutes. It's also currently available in MP3 or FLAC format from this website. Following the lead [...]
Fans of Sunset Rubdown and Wolf Parade will want to check out Moonface , whose new Dreamland EP arrived mysteriously today via Santa aka @Jagjaguwar . The EP clocks in just over 20 minutes and is available as a pay-what-you-want, high quality (flac) digital download. Spencer Krug is one busy guy. Download: Moonface :: Dreamland EP
Spencer Krug (Sunset Rubdown/Wolf Parade) has just launched his new "pay-what-you-want" site for his dream-inspired Moonface project.

Well here are my top ten albums of the year. If you know me at all you will probably find my top five pretty predictable, but I'm fine with that. In retrospect I would say 2009 was a great year for music. Now it's time to look ahead to 2010 and hope that it's just as good, maybe even better. View Entries 10 - 1 after the jump... [...]
Torniamo a parlare di classifiche del 2009 e questa volta parliamo di quella di un sito completamente made in Italy dal nome sicuramente "importante": Storia Della Musica . Anche quelli di Storia Della Musica (come quelli del Panopticon e Rumore , rimanendo in Italia) dimostrano di sapere quello che scrivono, realizzando una classifica interessante e piena zeppa di ottimi album. Per la Storia Della Musica l'album migliore dell'anno è quel "Embryonic" dei Flaming Lips del quale abbiamo parlato più che bene anche nella nostra scheda-recensione . [...]
Artwork by Brian Kuperman 2009 was an exceptional last year in an exceptional decade for music. In 2009 we were bombarded with solid release after great release after epic release throughout the entire year (upfront: I didn't listen to every album released in 2009), so narrowing my picks for the best albums of the year was not easy. Nonetheless, I have here Pretty Much Amazing's 25 best albums of the 2009. At the end of this list, you will have the chance to enter the [...]
To recap: As for My Favorite 50 Songs of 2009, I made a few rules for myself. First, a band can only appear once. Also, this is purely about singles I enjoy. For instance, I would never put Harlem Shakes' Technicolor Health on my favorite albums list, but "Sunlight" made it pretty high on this list because it's a great pop song. I like a lot of Grooms' songs and think they're probably better than many of these, for instance, but none of them made it onto this list because they work much better as a group of experimental [...]
Album #19: Dragonslayer by Sunset Rubdown Against all odds, Spencer Krug put out an album this year that didn't annoy me at all. I think, as I said previously , the thing I like most about this record is that it sounds like an actual band rather than Spencer dictating to his underlings. This gives the record vitality. Dragonslayer invited me into its world and I must say I enjoyed my stay. Download Sunset Rubdown - Idiot Heart [...]
