Sometimes life feels like you are stuck in an animated gif. No? Anyway, seeing this video also reminds me that I need to pick up the latest effort from Thee Oh Sees. It is called Warm Slime. You can get Warm Slime @ Amazon or directly from In The Red. Please note, this song is off last year’s excellent Help LP which can also be purchased @ Amazon or the aforementioned In The Red.

Vancouver’s own Japandroids are touring like crazy this year. Instead of recording a 2nd LP follow up to Post Nothing, they will be releasing a series of 5 limited edition 7″ singles on Polyvinyl. There’s more info about the series over at Pitchfork. Here is the first song which will be on the opposite side from the band’s cover of Racer X by Big Black. (A cover which you will no doubt recognize from their live show, or from their Daytrotter session or maybe that KEXP visit last year).

Downloadable: Art Czars (mp3)

Pre-order the Art Czars 7″ @ Insound.

Upcoming Show:
Apr 1 @ Bowery Ballroom w/ Best Coast

So this post contains (pretty much) all of my favorite mp3s from 2009. I have not put them in any sort of preferential order. These are sorted by artist in alphabetical order.

Take your time, scroll slowly, there are some real gems here. You may notice some big names missing here. Well, you know you can find those mp3s elsewhere (right?).

I will be putting up best of 2009 posts all week, so make sure you check back here soon. Also, if you haven’t already, you should check out largehearted boy’s 2009 Year-End Online Music Lists. Good stuff.
