A Few Selections from 2009

PLAY THE SHOW

Before we get back into the swing of things, we figured it might be fun to look back at a few selections that were released during 2009. For a number of reasons, this is NOT a ‘Best Of’ show, as I feel thoroughly unqualified to compile a list of my own, and most lists prove be painfully wrong with what is (or is not) included. Since I spend so much time analyzing music from the past, I don’t get enough of a chance to listen to new stuff, so a lot of these songs sound virtually brand new to me. The point is to listen and have some fun. How simple!

Here are selections that we’ve chosen for today’s show – more will follow next week.

1) Summertime Clothes – Animal Collective (Merriweather Post Pavilion)

2) It’s All Good – Bob Dylan (Together Through Life)

3) Wilco (the Song) – Wilco (Wilco (the Album))

4) This Tornado Loves You – Neko Case (Middle Cyclone)

5) Oh No – Andrew Bird (Noble Beast)

6) The Rake’s Song/Abduction of Margaret – The Decemberists (The Hazards of Love)

7) Baby Boomer – Monsters of Folk (Monsters of Folk)

8) Stars of Leo – M. Ward
