every word of it.

because other Top 10’s are 2 worse.

Here is my Top 12 of 2009. Something to consider – it’s not ranked. It’s just a collection of 12 songs from 2009 that I think are excellent. But if you forced me to pick a #1, it’d be jj – From Africa to Málaga.

1. Bat for Lashes – Glass
   I saw Bat for Lashes live earlier this year. It was my concert of 2009. Listen to Glass with a quality set of headphones, you’ll thank me later.
2. The Joy Formidable – Cradle
3. Florence And The Machine – Dog Days Are Over
   Florence and the Machine was my favorite for the Mercury Music Prize.
4. Delorean – Deli
5. The Drums – I Felt Stupid
6. The Horrors – Who Can Say
7. Peter Bjorn and John – Living Thing
8. jj – From Africa To Málaga
9. Bloc Party – One More Chance
   I think I’m the only one who liked this song. Once you listen to it, it never leaves. That could be a bad thing or in my case, a great thing.
10. Art Brut – Demons Out!
    Contains my favorite lyrics of 2009 – On your visa, it says ‘entertainer’/You’d better step it up or they’re gonna detain you
11. Get Back Guinozzi! – Low Files Tropical
12. Bruno Coulais – Exploration
