Musings Top Tracks of 2009…
Has to be She Keeps Bees...
We’ve almost hit the end of Musings’ first year (well, technically eleven months, given it started in February) and I thought I’d see it out with my own little “Top of 2009″ list, which was actually prompted by a mini-project for the office blog.
Most of them have featured in various posts throughout the year so this is more a “highlights” post than one that’ll introduce you to anything new but…if you only have time to listen to 10 recommendations from the Musings blog this year, I’d love for you to make it these 10.
In no particular order:
3. Florence + The Machine – Postcards From Italy (cover)
5. The Seal Cub Clubbing Club – Slow Motion Powerslides (In Dee) (we7)
6. Phantogram – When I’m Small
7. Marmaduke Duke – Heartburn (we7)
8. Jay-Z feat Alicia Keys – Empire State of Mind
9. Grizzly Bear vs. Dead Prez – Two Weeks of Hip Hop (The Hood Internet)
10. Flashguns – I Don’t Not Love You
All the links are to Hype Machine tracks unless specified.
UPDATE: A quick way to listen to 8 of them from one page: hypem.com/nishajl. I’ve cut my ‘loved tracks’ to the available 8. (although it appears they’ve switched to required sign-up to listen)
I mentioned this list was the result of a mini project at the office – we were asked to pull them together, along with our Top 10 albums and Top 5 live shows of 2009. You can find them, along with those of the rest of the Tonic folks, at www.tonic.fm.
I might do a “almost made the list…” addendum later this week. There are several.
