crystal castles finally gave birth to the sublimated unconscious of my 8 bit ninja gaiden youth… no age and times new viking and the vivian girls found the brian wilson in fuzz… fleet foxes brought me back to folky pussy shit (a continual flee and return process)… portishead defied the rules of comeback… be your own pet finally made it across the border for my third attempt to see them live.  jemma cursed at the audience and left early.  they broke up soon after.  i wouldn’t want it any other way… tokyo police club and land of talk couldn’t live up to the un-live-up-to-able quality of their debut eps, but their debut albums are all too solid… hercules and love affair replaced the field for my go-to doin it album… the hold steady kept up the sing-a-long songs as scripture… hayden piled on the proof that his ‘lush’ era (from skyscraper on) far outweighs his lo-fi era… jack white is still god, but he’s jesus in the desert, lost and tempted by satan.  2k9er should be a stripes year… cut copy made us dance and beck made us remember why we love beck… broken social scene, a project based on continual renewal, continued to renew.  liz powell from land of talk singing on 2 tracks certainly didn’t hurt… quiet village and flying lotus and el guincho chopped and mashed with finesse, while girl talk continued to impress…
