Christian’s Top Song of 2009

natasha khan

Hunk and I have been trying to pull together a Best Of 2009 list since November (no joke). But in between working hard and getting into trouble, it somehow got lost in the pile that we’re still knee deep in.

I’m sure you’ve already done your blog scouring and found lists-a-plenty to cap off the year. ‘Top Whatever Lists’ are supposed to be debatable and polarizing and that’s why they get sooooo much attention. Looking at all the year end lists from all our super duper blog pals, I think it’s safe to say that 2009 was an amaaaaaaaaazing year for music.

Animal Collective, The xx, Miike Snow, Passion Pit, Neon Indian, Washed Out, Florence And The Machine, Classixx… holy crap I could keep going and going too… Surfer Blood, Dirty Projectors, Girls, ok ok I’ll stop.

Instead of boring you with a list I wasn’t able to put together anyway, I’ll tell you my pick for the best song of 2009. Annnnnnd it is:

Bat For Lashes – Daniel

Too obvious? Maybe. Not obvious enough? Also maybe. It doesn’t matter and I don’t even want to articulate why I love this song. It just feels right and that’s what good music is supposed to do.

I was gonna wax poetic about the state of rap music and the direction electro music has taken, but I’ll save that for another time when I feel inspired (ie drunk) enough.

Hope you had a great 2009 (like Phoenix did).

If Hot Chip and Cut Copy had a baby, it would sound like this:

Penguin Prison – A Funny Thing

Homage or copy cat? Or both?
