Blur - The Universal (Hyde Park, London, 3 July, 2009)



Ok, the tune is not from 2009, but seeing that Blur reformed this year, and this performance is fanfuckingtastic and sends chills down my spine, i had to post it.

Toro Y Moi - Blessa



This is actually on his forthcoming album due for release in 2010, but fuck it. Hazed, dreamlike vibes, and I love it.

Mastodon - Divinations



ATL represent! INCREDIBLE, and probably the best tune I caught live this year. The playing on it is next level. Painfully great.

The Bloody Beetroots - Warp 1.9 (feat. Steve Aoki)



White gloves ecstasy music for 2009. I witnessed a crowd at Coachella erupt to this shit like it was The Prodigy circa 1992.

Hannu - Valssi



Sublime and spiritual piece of music. This finishes off his latest album "Hintergarten", and could not be any more beautiful.

These dudes FINALLY bring it like the days of Reign In Blood! Wait for the riff at 1:51!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Neon Indian - Deadbeat Summer



Chillwave? Lo-fi? Fuck no. Mushrooms and vodka on some deserted beach at 6 am music.

Jamie Jones - Summertime



Throbbing, Detroit inspired bassline intercourse. Wait, is that Prince on vocals?

Tape Deck Mountain - In the Dirt



THICK bass, great vocals, shimmering guitars, plodding drums. Would love an album from these cats.

Throne of Katarsis - The Winds of Blasphemy



One of the very few bands from Norway at the moment that I can classify as True Norwegian Black Metal. The mid tempo parts (1:53 onward) are where they truly shine. Music doesn't get much uglier or extreme.

Phil Kieran - Cut Copy Waste



If you dig any form of electronic music, you should probably hear this. Some break dance, pop n lock, early WARP, Orbital, Boards Of Canada, Dynamix, Miami bass type shit.

This is, by far, my favorite song of the year. Still listen to it on an at-least-weekly basis, and it came out in Feb. ...

seriously great tune. i put it on a mix earlier this year for Angelique, and we would always skip back and play it 2-3 times in a row when it came on.

i've got some more tunes to upload this week

Lie In Ruins - Abyss of Demons



When you get tired of that pussy ass music you listen to, give LIR a try.

Andrew Bird - Fitz & Dizzyspells



Fuckin' guy is a genius American songwriter. Deal with it.

Burning Hearts - Close to Her



Look, my parents are still up and I'm way too high to go home. Cool if I crash here till I sober up?

Man LIke Me - London Town (Foamo Remix)



Paaaaaaaaaaarty rockin'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bassline makes you want to throw your hands up and make out with some girl you just met, even if she's gurning from too much E, standing barefoot in a pool of port-o-potty slush!

The Answering Machine - Lightbulbs



Manchester's shining moment of 2009. They picked up where the failed Bloc Party left off.

Torche - Healer



If you don't think this tune unleashes a can of BAD ASS, then you're just a pussy!

http://www.mediafire.com/?k2eyzzm2yzz

Animal Collective - Graze



I would have chosen "My Girls", and then they busted out this brilliant piece of mushroom induced leprechaun step.

MOST CREATIVE BAND OF 2009.

Ravens Creed - Peace Through Superior Firepower



Motorhead for 2009. Raw and fucking UGLY.

http://www.mediafire.com/?qvjywu12twt

Kreator - Warcurse



I let my girlfriends son (11 years old) listen to this on the way home from school one day. It became his daily anthem.

Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks



Don't act like you haven't been humming this all year.
