Top 2009 albums

7. Animal Collective - Fall be Kind EP The second half of Graze!!! I Think I Can; What Would I want? Sky deliver too
6. Bear in Heaven - Beast Rest Forth Mouth Lovesick teenagers never die :)
5. Wild Beasts - Wild Beasts Watch me! Watch me! The belle of the ball!
4. Neon Indian - Psychic Chasms Cut Copy/m83 hybrid - wonderful surreal summer sounds
3. Atlas Sound - Logos AMAZING
2. Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest This was so close to being number 1: achingly beautiful - heady summer; youth, vitality
1. Animal Collective - Merriwether Post Pavillion THIS ALBUM IS BASICALLY PERFECT


Stuff I listened to that didn't come out this year:

Bonnie Prince Billy - I See a Darkness Trent Reznor take note: what nihilism should sound like
Built to Spill - Keep it Like a Secret Woah: Not all 90s rock is shit! :o
Interpol - Our Love to Admire Coming to terms with the fact that I ignored this for 2 years on the basis of Pitchfork's lukewarm rating (yea, I'm that lame). Not as good as their first 2 albums, but still good
