Deep In My Heart Is A Song...
Welcome back.
Today we're proud to present Part 2 of our Top Records of 2009. Please refer to yesterday's post for the full info on how this is all gonna go down.
Some bonus stuff, first.
Band Of The Year: The Black Diamond Heavies (constant touring, including two revelatory sets that we got to see, a brand new Live Album, and older records that never left our playlist). We wrote about 'em here.
Music Festival of the Year: The Deep Blues Festival (Duh. But it's actually our Festival Of The Decade. Yeah, it was that good.)
Book Of The Year: Blood's A Rover by James Ellroy
We'll have some more of these little random Best Of's over the next couple of days.
But, now, what y'all are bated breathing for...Part 2 (of 4) of our Best Records Of The Year.

Swirled, loping Americana kitchen sink, echoes and mantra collided, sadly beautiful between the stations on AM.

28.
Yo La Tengo: Popular Songs
Condo Fucks: Fuckbook
Flip a coin and get two sides, one Autumnal reverie, the other a thrashed and fuzzed out ode to rawk, equally tasty.

Pop-bomb wrecked and speakers shiny with burst-guitar and vocal chicken in the road splatter-shot godhead, sprawled.

Amen Dunes: DIA
A delicate ice-island, man in pscyh-transformer, bowed and wandering wonder, fields of sandy Mars disassembled with gulped gulfs.
Amen Dunes: Two Thousand Islands (mp3)
23.
Chain And The Gang: Down With Liberty
Protest as K-Records funk'n'groove vox spar, gettin' jiggy in sexual commie congress, mining the seam of sleaze and social satyrs for vox populii.

22.
Kurt Vile: Childish Prodigy
Strummed and freaky in the urban wilderness, concrete stumble and cracks in the sidewalk where weeds grow in technicolor rainy day rainbows.
Kurt Vile: Freak Train (mp3)
21.
Black Diamond Heavies: Alive As Fuck
Live and dirty, satan fucking a groove to the end of times, preacher hollerin' locusts and hell fire, a wail and riff into the broiling night.
