It’s that time of year. The time of the Best Of list. In this week’s Top 5 Music Countdown, we’re revealing the best albums of 2009, IHHO (In Heather’s Humble Opinion), NATCH.
5. Miike Snow
“Miike Snow”
Swedish + existential & metaphysical lyrics. Gotta have my synths!
4. Fever Ray
“Fever Ray”
Creepy vocals + dense electronica = just like I like it.
3. The Dead Weather
“Horehound”
Electric rock and funky backbeats. No bias here. This album/collaboration is one of the best from this year.
2. The xx
“xx”
Minimal and sexy. Pretty much how I live, nutshelled.
1. Florence + the Machine
“Lungs”
Gothic vocals + gorgeous instrumentation. Florence (speaking about her music) says: “I want my music to sound like throwing yourself out of a tree, or off a tall building, or as if you’re being sucked down into the ocean and you can’t breathe.”
Happy New Year!!!
A new Fall chill is in the air and you’re already swamped with schoolwork and #2 pencil sharpening. There’s no rest for the wicked, but how about a good scream? This little tune is a screamer, “there’s no recess!!!”
“Sit down, Waldo!!” This song is nostalgic of my innocent days as a high schooler. I remember Sophomore year, my girlfriends and I got all glammed up for the Van Halen concert — I think it was my second rock show after getting trampled at Steve Miller Band.
We don’t need no education. ‘Nuff said.
Like, OMG!! This song is quintessential high school. Daddy’s out of town — which means all night keggers, parental liquor cabinet raids, messy bathtub beer bonging and of course, the dreadful beverage that is the wine cooler. Good times!
