My Top 10 Songs of 2009 (and the weird ass videos made for them)
Monday, December 21, 2009 at 2:23PM Music is something I am very passionate about. So passionate, in fact, that it is getting me to do something I never do...blog. With the New year quickly approaching, every website and magazine known to man will start releasing their "Best of 2009" lists. I figured I would try to get the jump on them.
The list below comprises of my favorite songs released in 2009, as well as a few honorable mentions. For those who don't know, I am very open to all genres, but I tend to dwell mostly in Indie and Dance/Electronica. What do you think? Did any of your favorites make my list? Did I miss any?
(10) Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks
Grizzly Bear's third album, Veckatimest, came out in late May this year and quickly became one of my favorites. "Two Weeks" was the first single released and it stood out as one of the more popular tracks on the album. Unfortunately, it was accompanied by what I think is one of the weirdest fucking music videos I have ever seen in my entire life. The video consists of all four members uncomfortably sitting in a church while the camera slowly pans the group. Halfway through the video, they begin to glow and eventually spontaneously combust in a Forth of July celebratory manner. The song is top notch, as is the rest of their album, but this video just creeps me the 'f' out!
