Pick only ten: TRACKS from 2009 so far

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

Here's my ten:

1. The Juan Maclean - Tonight
2. Telefon Tel Aviv - The Birds
3. Meanderthals - Andromeda
4. Royksopp - You Don't Have A Clue
5. Richgirl - He Ain't With Me Now Tho
6. Electrik Red - Bed Rest
7. Ciara - Work
8. Fever Ray - Dry And Dusty (but could be swapped with 2 or 3 others from the LP)
9. Roska - Our Father
10. Jay-Jay Johansson - Lightning Strikes

I'd been thinking this year had been dry so far but no that's just the charts. Tell your ten!

and yeah you're right that any mediocrity this year has been solely confined to the charts - in terms of new music I'm constantly discovering, it's getting better and better and better in every direction. so...fuck the charts. it seems the a fool's game to hope that any of the great stuff will get into them - i don't think i can recall a time when what "mainstream pop" meant in this country was this awful.

it is hard for me to stop caring about the charts completely due to "aspie" stats love, and i would still like them to be feature stuff i love. as i said elsewhere i think they are defined more by mediocrity rather than peaks and troughs. there were terrible things in/about the charts in the past that now seem diminished too.
