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.

Flip a coin and get two sides, one Autumnal reverie, the other a thrashed and fuzzed out ode to rawk, equally tasty.

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)

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.

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.
