Merry Christmas: The best of 2009 on Clearance

My good friend Maz Ameli just posted this link on facebook and I thought I’d share it with you. If you are a law abiding citizen and abstain from stealing music from the internets, this is Amiestreet.com‘s gift to you.  Essentially all albums that you would covet for the year of 2009, if your taste in musicality is anywhere close to mine. If it’s not, tough cookies and get with it. Please proceed to get excited and start impulsively purchasing like an insomniac on the HSN.

A few of the bands you will find in this sweet bundle:

Phoenix
Passion Pit
Atlas Sound
Girls
Great Lake Swimmers
St. Vincent
The Antlers
Animal Collective

Just check it out, already.

Ready, Able

The new video from Grizzly Bear off the “NEW MOON” soundtrack. Don’t ask me how this film pulled so many decent artists i.e. Thom Yorke, Bon Iver and St. Vincent. The song is so hauntingly beautiful, freaking love the sound of Ed Droste’s voice. It feels like you’re getting a group hug from heavenly angels. The claymation in this video is either extremely disturbing or an ingenious work of art. I propose both.

Also, heading out to a Julian Casablancas concert tonight with my buddy Maz. Free Free Free. That’s the only way I can hack it. I will tell you alllllll about it this weekend.Oh…you haven’t heard much from him? That’s because his solo album was just released. Here’s a taste. Savor the flavor.
