MY 2009 HALO LIST of UNHEARD GOODNESS

OK, so here's the stuff that came out in 2009 that I had an inkling to listen and the opportunity did not present itself. Some of these may end up in my amended most of/best of chart next year; some I may not get to until I am old and wrinkled. Albums are not in any particular order.

Dirty Projectors – Bitte Orca
Sloan – Hit & Run EP
Matt & Kim – Grand
Mastodon – Crack the Skye
Manic Street Preachers – Journal For Plague Lovers
Sonic Youth – The Eternal
Street Sweeper Social Club – Street Sweeper Social Club
Pete Yorn – Back and Forth
Brendan Benson – My Old Familiar Friend
Jay-Z – The Blueprint 3
Kid Cudi – Man on the Moon: The End of Day
Pearl Jam – Backspacer
The Flaming Lips – Embryonic
Weezer – Raditude
Them Crooked Vultures – Them Crooked Vultures
Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavilion
Jay Farrar and Benjamin Gibbard – One Fast Move or I'm Gone
Real Estate – Real Estate
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Raekwon – Only Built For Cuban Linx Part II
Bill Callahan – Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle
The Antlers – Hospice

It is a pretty big list, but I would always welcome additions if something you loved can't be found here or on my big 15.
