It's the jump off ya'llz meganmcisaac : i will do . <—- Download link lately i have been lacking motivation to get the ten million things on my to-do list crossed off, from saving up money to travel europe this summer to responding to emails. i made this mix tape with the intentions of motivating and inspiring myself and you, hopefully in multiple ways. i recommend listening to this (in order!) before you start your busy day, with intentions of crossing [...]
1. The Antlers - Hospice The Antlers - Bear Brent: This album grew and grew over 2009 until it was pretty impossible for me to not put this at #1. I was positive I would have phoenix in this spot, but The Antlers hits me on a completely different level. It's not "fun" music but it is an album I can play over and over again, hearing new things. The piano roll on Atrophy always gets to [...]
GET ON THIS! yvynyl : Banannnas - a yvynyl mixtape This set of tunes all seem loosely related thematically, though that wasn't fully intentional. The songs touch on the light - love, sex and, well, beaches, sunshine and surfing. But they're balanced out by the macabre - heartbreak, thievery and even murderous intent. A lot of them take a few moments to really draw you in (but they do so with tear-jerking ferocity) while others just snap to, like a twig of green pop rock ready to be [...]
At the end of the year, we had a hard time keeping our heads above water, trying to grasp our end of the year lists and what not. In doing so, we missed the chance to alert you to the duo that is Yellow Fever . Sure, they've been running around Austin for several years, but recently, they've seen their star rising in their musical horoscope. Vivian Girls opted to release the groups self-titled debut album on their label Wild World . It's an album full of simple ditty's [...]
christ, somehow i'm still catching up with last years divined finds, trepidatious purchases, enthused borrows and sweaty-illicit mail packages. this came out lord knows when (october maybe) and i've only just got round recently to tuning out and dropping off. dunno why it's taken so long given my love for the part wild horses / hunter gracchus lot that this square-peg-rectangular-hole mingles with. winnowed from the polymath, alchemist, "the man who could walk through in-between positions", arch black duke of maknovischina, peripatetic flux ingester haji gutterpup ustad's almanac, his scribblings and tapes spanning 31 yrs, "non-euclidean [...]
The Vivian Girls ' second studio album, Everything Goes Wrong , ushered in a time when everything was right for the all-girl trio. But like all great bands, the Brooklyn natives can't rest on their laurels and older releases for long, so they're coming at their audience with a new single and a slew of tour dates across Europe and the U.S. As Pitchfork notes, the band's latest single is called "My Love Will Follow Me" and will be released on vinyl (on the girls' Wild World imprint) and [...]

![[DECADEnce] The Top 100 Albums of the 00s](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2251560_lg.jpg)
The end of DECADEnce may come a couple days late, as some of the massive pieces of writing I did last week, combined with a whole lot going on post-New Years pushed the time table for these lists back a little bit. At least it's finally getting done though, right? So what follows is the list that I consider to be the most important amid all the other lists I've written across the past 10 years. It is, after all, a grand summation of a decade's worth of fine records, these being the finest of the fine. Now before you [...]
This is about Matt. Make no mistake, there could be 100 lead lines to this night, but.... This is about Matt . About a man who, when he met Grace, sat her down and made her watch The Last Waltz. "This is the kind of band I want with you. You in?" Grace: "ahh, yeah". And the first time he met Sparky, sat HIM down and made him watch The Last Waltz. And day of show "I was so nervous, I was pacing all day. I was [...]

The artwork, designed by La Boca, was voted the best album cover of the past year by the public, pipping Manic Street Preachers, Fever Ray and Massive Attack to the title.

See Artvinyl.com for more information. The top ten album designs in the Best Art Vinyl [...]
writing a personal 2009 music summary is really hard. it feels a bit stupid to say that i avoided all party music, but it is actually the truth.. instead of nodding away to bangers, i found myself chasing the more refined sounds of disco and chillwave. which was ok cos it was apparently a great year for the more chin-strokey and misty-eyed beats anyway: Washed Out - Feel It All Around some people might say that 2009 was the year of dubstep. i on the other hand would argue that it [...]

For the 12th year Brainwashed Readers have voiced their opinion on the best and worst music of the year. While some of the results shouldn't come as a surprise, there are, as always, plenty of anomalies. Brainwashed Readers have once again, and probably moreso than any other previous year, distanced themselves from the mainstream. Thanks to all who took part. As always, the Brainwashed Staff have added their comments. Album of the Year:Sunn O))), Monoliths Dimensions Their best album by a country mile. I get the feeling their collaborators have a lot to do with [...]
2009 is a tough year to judge. I've checked out more albums this year than any year in the past. Well over 1,000. And there have been quite a few great ones as well. When this list began, it had 110 albums. I abandoned my top 33 and 1/3 for 45, and then said "screw it" and upped the number to an even 50. These are the top notch albums of the year, all worthy of praise. Despite trouble all around, 2009 wasn't all that bad. [...]
