This was super hard, but I’ve come up with my list of my top 10 albums of 2009. These were the albums, in order of most to least, that brought me the greatest pleasure last year.
  1. Far by Regina Spektor
  2. The Fame Monster by Lady GaGa
  3. Horehound by The Dead Weather
  4. Where The Wild Things Are by Karen O and the Kids
  5. Hold Time by M.Ward
  6. Davy by Coconut Records
  7. My Old, Familiar Friend by Brendan Benson
  8. Grand by Matt & Kim
  9. The Boy Who Knew Too Much by MIKA
  10. No Line on the Horizon by U2
Now, those were the top 10. But so amazing, outstanding albums came out last year that it was difficult to limit it just to 10…. which is why I now present the five albums that almost made it to my top 10. All of these are excellent, and truly deserve to be mentioned in any 2009 music-list.

  1. Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix by Phoenix
  2. Manners by Passion Pit
  3. For Your Entertainment by Adam Lambert
  4. La Roux by La Roux
  5. (500) Days of Summer by Various Artists
Those were my favorites, what were your favorite albums of 2009???

Garbage Day by Brendan Benson

This is so excellent. It’s just always the right time for this song. Good mood, bad mood. Rainy day, sunny day. It’s always perfect. Always.

Garbage Day by Brendan Benson.

I thought they stopped making this kind of music in the mid 80s, glad to know I was wrong.

You may know Mr. Benson better as 1/4 of the alt-rock band The Raconteurs, where he shares the “frontman” title with Jack White of The White Stripes and more recently, The Dead Weather.

This track is from his latest album, My Old, Familiar Friend, which came out just this past week. Truly brilliant.
