Best of 2009 - Chapter One If the truth scares you, you picked a bad time to come to my blog. Look, let me put you on to something: 2009 was a really horrible year for me, and I'm not alone. This was a year full of confusions, explanations, loss, rebirth and unsubtle change. If the rest of the world was a restless mess wallowing in its own mire, mine was a journey into a blistered tunnel of darkness and back into the light. [...]

• Four Tet - Love Cry (Joy Orbison Remix)

It may feel a little early for this sort of thing, but we on the Amazon music team have pooled our collective knowledge and taste to determine the best music of 2009. We spent 2009 soothed by Neko Case 's wail, moved to dance by Yeah Yeah Yeahs ' turn towards big beats, intrigued by Somali hip-hop Troubadour K'naan, and ready to hear three key words from neo-twangsters the Avett Brothers . On the songs side, French popsters Phoenix went nutty for a composer and [...]

The following top 5 picks are the stand-outs in the ever-growing Americana genre that intermingles within all brands of alt country, bluegrass, folk, and blues music. Each of the following titles fall somewhere in that spectrum, if not covering all of them in some cases. p Song Up In Her Head [...]

D.Folks - Jupiter D.Folks' self-released album Jupiter doesn't stay in one place very long, moving seamlessly between organic, '80s-indebted, uptempo pop and contemporary loverman R&B in a way that's more refreshing than schizophrenic. Jupiter is an album that both parents and kids will enjoy, but would probably never enjoy together as a family. Songs like "Superficial World" bring to mind not only the golden era of his fellow Virginians the Neptunes' production career, but also their label signee Robin Thicke. "Falling In Love Again," on the other hand sounds almost [...]

1. Bon Iver - Blood Bank : Even though there are only twenty words in " Woods ," the vocodered-up final track on Blood Bank boils over with wrenching longing and sadness, giving us the kind of emotional intensity Kanye West reached for but never achieved with his mopefest 808s and Heartbreak . The EP's other three songs are a perfectly chill extension of For Emma , but it's the knockout punch at the end that [...]

Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele - The Good Feeling Music of Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele Dent May reminds me of my friends from the math & computer club at my high school back in the mid-'90s. Amidst our treasured BBS and equations, we used to dream that one day the nerds would take over, and our overworked intellects and idiosyncratic tastes would be valued instead of spit upon--that someday, being nerdy might even be considered "cool." Dent [...]
