music is not a competition:

2009, some records i liked. in alphabetical order, for lack of a better format.

clues - clues
DOOM - born like this
fever ray - fever ray
the field - yesterday and today
fieldhead - they shook hands for hours
hudson mohawke - butter
jonsi and alex - riceboy sleeps
micachu and the shapes - jewellery (if i were to pick a favourite…)
themselves - crownsdown
tim exile - listening tree

that hyperdub 5.0 compilation was pretty good too. i’ve yet to get into the anti-pop consortium, lightning bolt and broadcast records. they might have featured were i to do this list in a month or so.

it is fair to say that, come springtime, this list will be very different. and such is the joy/irrelevancy of lists.

and animal collective can go to hell.
