For me, Bibio's ambivalence avenue, passion pit's manners, Patrick Watson's wooden arms are some of the best.

Yours? I'm trying to get as much music as possible before I leave the country for a while.

the first, certainly. bibio can do no wrong.

for me 09 was a weird year, lots of great new breakthrough stuff. flylo, hudmo, samiyam and that crew repping fresh sounds. the evolution of dubstep to new greats as well as new popstep-sellout lows; the return of wisp and classic IDM with proswell/ilkae/machinedrum etc. all remastering old material- as well as jega and warp20's mega compilation. indie was very average this year-- when bands like grizzly bear are celebrated you know shit is getting boring. a mega triumph from a token-name, animal collective, who brought their blissful experiments into the mainstream and became catchy enough to hook a large audience. i dunno, 2009 is just a big mess. raekwon repped only built 4 cuban linx vol.2 and showed us all that a hip-hop classic can be followed up by a sequel-- other hip-hop floated around in my playlists but nothing really stuck.

Fall of Troys new album was pretty awesome. Not as good as their older stuff but its still pretty badass.

album art is pretty cool.

Humbug by the arctic monkeys featured some fantastic music on it. favorites of mine were Pretty Visitors and The Jewellers Hands.

Here here. Fantasic to see Arctic Monkeys do something different from their last two albums. Potion Approaching and Dance Little Liar deserve a mention as well.

For me, it's got to be Brand New's latest album

I recently discovered these guys from the Legion of Doom incorporated album, one of their tracks had been mixed. Instantly downloaded everything I could find from them and loved it. Then saw them at this years Reading festival, and got a taster of what was to come from the Daisy album and it sounded promising. The long and short of it? Fantasic album, every song. Elements of post-rock, classic alternative, and going back to the routes of their career with a dash punk-rock. Considering all of this, this record still seems to retain an aura of grace.

Yes both hudmo and flylo I have given ALOT of time to... especially mr. lotus. Discovered Los Angeles this year. As I am reading this I am, coincidentally, listening to wisp for the first time ^^

Grizzly Bear's Yellow House is one of my favourite albums of the decade, leave em alone.

I don't like merriweather post pavillion as much as I do either fall be kind or strawberry jam; it's good that they've finally made the mainstream, but it's a shame they made it on the album they did... although as I said fall be kind gives me hope

Raekwon's I haven't given a full listen to as I only just got hold of it.

I think the most interesting thing indie-wise this year was its push on the new moon soundtrack... soon to be fully mainstream?

Awaiting both four tet's new album and something by Joy orbison the most atm, as well as Jonsi's solo album, his solo ambient stuff is amazing.

But you clearely know your stuff, I think I've lurked your lastfm page before actually... any particular albums to check out would be great.
