Another single-release week, but at least it’s a doozy.
- Wilco - The Whole Love (buy the CD/buy the MP3s)
I find it hard to believe but for my end of the year post I will make mention of the new Wilco album for the first time on Tuneage. It seems that not posting favorites has become the new Tuneage trend of 2009, but we’re making up for it.
I guess Wilco is a tough sell for me. I love almost everything they’ve done but it takes me awhile to realize it. I can’t tell you how many times I had to listen to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot before I realized that everybody was right. It seems like they are above just writing songs and are instead trying to find someplace deep inside of you where they can live. But that is all psychobabble bullshit and we all know that they are just some guys doing what they love and they’re having fun doing it.
And with that, here are five bands who did what they love this year and gave me my Favorites of 2009:
- Wilco - Wilco (the Album)
- Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest (mostly for Two Weeks which has been stuck in my head about that long)
- Pomegranates - Everybody! Come Outside
- Headlights - Wildlife
- Beirut - March of the Zapotec
Happy New Year, everybody. I hope you have about a million or two million more.
