Day 9 ~ Swoon to the Max
So... Cinnamon Chasers - Luv Deluxe.Ok.. I'm still trying to comprehend what I'm hearing right now. My friend just sent me the video below and I'm in COMPLETE awe. I think I'm on the 10th play in a row and I don't mind if it's the only thing I hear for the rest of 2010. To think this amazing peace of work has been around the blogosphere since April and I'm only listening now... wow. And the video... well, fan-fucking-tastic!! I think this is the first song in years that I've had no desire to check out the remixes. Wow Wow Wow. Maybe in a few days I'll come back and edit my excitement. I hope not ;)
Download Luv Deluxe here . Purchase here.
For the Lovers... and the Heartbroken
My favourite music friend sent me this video by Oliver Koletzki after we had been reading about the Gui Boratto presents Renaissance Mix Collection. The album comes out next week and I cannot wait to sit down and listen with some good wine... aahhhhhh! This song is also on Koletzki's latest albm, Großstadtmärchen.
For the Lovers out there, Hypnotized feat Fran
Florence + the Machine released yet another video on Saturday, which makes me tres happy! I won't be checking her out on her upcoming North American (Mini) Tour, so this will have to do. Check out the video for her latest single, Hurricane Drunk. Eagerly anticipating this single to be released so I can hear The Horrors remix in good quality. If you haven't heard the radio rip version yet, check it out here. Beyond beautiful! Kind of reminds me of 2001 Zero 7.
*Update* And the video was taken down. Here is Florence Live at Abbey Road.

11 of my favourite songs of 2009 :)
Here are a few of my favourite non-remixed songs that came out in 2009. They aren't all singles, and I'm sure I should be doing albums, but I guess this is going to be the way it is! I won't be able to explain anything and I'll use the word favourite far too many times. Let's let the music do the talking :)
In no particular order :
Fever Ray - Coconut
This is the last track on Fever Ray's Self titled album. I love every song but this one just closes it SO beautifully. While I said no particular order, I would have to say this song hit me harder than any other song this year!
Dragonette - Liar
A lot of great songs will get missed on this list but there is no way I could miss this one! First time I heard this song from their Fixin To Thrill album, I was in awe :) It ended up being my most played song of 2009 and the album was only released the end of September.
Miike Snow - Silvia
I didn't get into Miike Snow when everyone was loving them. A music friend with great taste had me listen to it just two weeks ago. I listened to Silvia over and over. Great album. Other highlights from their Self titled album are Burial, Cult Logic and In Search Of.
Passion Pit - Moth's Wings
Great song from Passion Pit's Manners album.
Florence + The Machine - Any song from Lungs
Wow.. it's hard to pick a song from Lungs. Since it came out in early July, I've had a new favourite every week. While Swimming and Bird Song hold a special place in my heart, let's go with Drumming Song. Out of her videos, Drumming Song is my fave. I love her cute dancing! Florence has a big love for Beyonce and I can always tell in her moves! She does a sweet dance rendition of Single Ladies - youtube it!
Bat For Lashes - Daniel
Two Suns came out in early 2009. Great album! It was hard to pick between Pearl's Dream and Daniel. I really really like Natasha Khan. Love watching her interviews.
Daniel - Bat For Lashes

Marina and the Diamonds - Hollywood
This one could be a little questionable. Not for the song, but for the year... 2009 or 2010?! Marina released the video the end of Novemeber and the mp3 is available on some blogs, but won't be available to buy until February 1st. The album, The Family Jewel's to be released later that month. Sounds like I may have messed up, but whatever. I enjoyed this song in 2009 so I'm going for it! What do you think? 2009 or 2010?! I love the video as well. Marina has a great sense of humour. Check out her blog at http://marinaandthediamonds.com/ for her great posts!
Jack Peñate - Pull My Heart Away
I love this! I also love Tonight's Today and Be The One from his Everything Is New album almost as much, but I could only pick one!
Kasabian - Fire
This one from their album West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, is such a fun late night driving song!
Regina Spektor - Dance Anthem of the 80's
Oh, I did not love this song at first but when I started coming around to it, it totally grabbed a hold of me! Gotta love the slow-growers. Other notables from her album Far would be The Calculation and Folding Chair.
Last but NOT least
Chauffeaur - Soles Of Fire
This was originally a Top 10 list but when I went through it I realized I missed one that just couldn't be missed! Chauffeur is Mark Ronson, Theophilus London, Sam Sparro. I still can't believe this song didn't totally blow up. I think it's unreal!
And gotta love Theophilus London's Humdrum Town :)
Some honourary album mentions would have to go to Ruby Jean and the Thoughtful Bees - S/T, Metric - Fantasies, White Lies - To Lose My Life, Royksopp - Junior, Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and Jenny Wilson - Hardships!
In the end I can see I am not meant to do Top 10 Lists, or lists of any kind! I wanted to do a Top 10 Remixes of 2009, but there is no way I can get it below 30 songs!
