This list could go hundreds, thousands deep and it would still only touch the surface, so you know how much a struggle it was for me to cut it down to just 50. Ranking art is always a bit of a silly process, and it's even more here, when every single song is brilliant. So don't take the order too seriously. The real point of this is to give people a chance to hear the things that I simply couldn't live without, the songs that make my whole world go around – and to hopefully [...]
It is not too often that the viewer can look at a piece of art and have the word precision come to mind, but that is the exact I thought when I first looked at the work of Ola Wikstrom. Based in Stockholm, the process for his creations is fascinating. In his words, "I cut them into 1x1cm pieces which I paste on cardboard" or "Jag klipper upp dem i 1x1cm stora rutor som jag klistrar p' kartong", but it is so much more than that. He creates intricate landscapes, mangled scenes, fragmented realities, from these precisely cut squares. I [...]
That's right. Tonight's the night. The night we've all been waiting for. Oh man oh man. It's actually ridiculous how excited I am for this. I'd be lying if I said I've been thinking of anything but this for like 2 weeks. Because I haven't. mp3: Coldplay - Lost! mp3: Rilo Kiley - Plane Crash In C mp3: The Whitest Boy Alive - Island mp3: Loney [...]

Now, I'll be there, camera(s) in tow, to shoot the shoot (did I just blow yer mind???) as 1) I want [...]
Drowned in Sound has a great post on album releases by Nordic bands in 2009. The only band I've heard of on here is Loney Dear, so there is a lot of good new music to find in viking country. You probably know this band from an ipod touch commercial: Want some Nordic Noise? Check out Sudden Weather Change: Related: No Related Post

I've missed far too much music in the past year to make a proper best of list, so instead, here's a list of 22 songs that I've loved from 2009. Listed in alphabetical order, not preference. Even though all of them are bloody good. 4 or 5 Magicians - Preaching to the Converted So 2009 didn't turn out to be the year that 4 or 5 Magicians finally "made it". They did manage to put out their first proper album though, and despite a few missteps, it's an excellent start. [...]

The end of the decade is nearing a close as we here at The Yellow Stereo present to you our favorite albums of 2009. Even though we haven't been around since the start of the decade, I want to say on my behalf that it's been an absolute joy doing running this blog for you guys for at least the past three or so years. Hopefully, we can ride this ship far into the years that are yet to come. Joining the usual crew this year were (Pablo and Val) were two new writers, Nathan and [...]
No soy muy dada a esto de confeccionar listas con " lo mejor de ", pero por fin me decidí (gracias a Esquimal de Balbinablog ) a seleccionar mis 50 canciones de 2009 . Tengo que decir que cualquiera de los temas que ocupan las veinte primeras posiciones, y quizá alguno de los que se encuentran más abajo, podrían estar perfectamente en el Núm. 1, esto de la música depende de tantos factores... Que sepais que volveré de vacaciones con las 100 mejores de la primera década del siglo XXI, ufff! ahí si que voy [...]
As always, this is a subjective project. I do think that everything on here is legitimately great, but I'm not going to pretend that my tastes correlate perfectly with some objective standard for the best. This is a list of the records I liked this year. Nothing more. The emphasis is on indie rock, but there's a bit of punk, quite a few instrumental records, a decent amount of rootsy stuff, and a bit more straight-up pop music than in previous years. In some ways, it's been a weak year for music. I'm [...]
I was tempted to limit this to a top 30 songs of the year, but in the past couple weeks I've discovered quite a few new tracks that have convinced me this year was a bit stronger than I had initially expected. I would still say that the list this year is weaker than past ones. Not because there wasn't enough good music this year. It's just that there were a lot fewer peaks. There were a TON (as many or more than ever before) good to very-good songs and albums out this year, but [...]
