My Favorite Music of 2009, Part 2: Extended Playa
What struck me in going back through what grabbed me this year was just how many of them came in short bursts. Of course, every year, there are singles that grab you, songs that you love even though you don’t love the record (The Big Pink’s “Dominos” springs immediately to mind). And every year there are a few EPs that stand out. But for me, this year, there were bunches.

My Favorite Music of 2009, Part 1: The Fucking...
I love year end lists. I love the push and pull of them. The concept itself speaks to the need for consensus, yet there’s something so individualistic about the modern age that it compels every list to be unique and personal.
I both love and hate how the broad rockist music mediascape winds up having preposterously similar top 10s, as if these really are, on some objective measure, the best...

You still aren’t watching Jimmy Fallon because… why?
Well you’re missing the best hour in late night after TDS and TCR and the first injection of real fun I’ve seen from a talk show in a long time.
This little Vacation thing doesn’t do that much for me, but Fallon’s show is far far better than it has any right to be. I absolutely HATED him on SNL, where his penchant...

When Are We Going To See the Flying Car?
In comics, there are many instances when we have to suspend our disbelief. Alien planets, superpowers, time travel, radioactive spiders, parallel universes, and the list goes on. Incognito is no exception. In this series, superpowers, monsters, cloning and mind control all play a large role. And I am willing to suspend my disbelief for all of these....

Top Ten Albums of 2009
10. Something loud that makes clear I’m not that old yet
9. Well-respected though not astonishing album by mainstream rock band that used to be groundbreaking and important and now plays halftime at the Super Bowl
8. Approachable hip-hop album by an indie-type who raps about food or something
7. Beardy music, maybe alt-country but definitely “authentic”
6. Self-released...

Pitchfork: Local Natives Sign to Frenchkiss →
Nice! Local Natives blew me away on this past summer’s Daytrotter Barnstormer, and they were super-decent folks to boot. Their new album is on sale now in Europe via Rough Trade, but at least now it will see a US release in the spring. Frenchkiss is on my shit list ever since I picked up that Cut Off Your Hands record and the mp3 downloads wouldn’t work and nobody from the band, the...
