When a relationship ends the best way to recover is to look forward and forget about the old crap. But when it comes to music it's different. The time has come to look in the mirror and review the music year 2009 aswell as the music from the past decade.

2008 was a fuckin great year.

This was my top 10 albums of 2008:

1. Fucked Up - The Chemistry Of Common Life


2. Good Luck - Into Lake Griffy
3. Dillinger Four - Civil War
4. Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
5. Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
6. The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound
7. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
8. Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours
9. The Hold Steady - Stay Positive
10. Q Tip - The Renaissance

2009 I set some sort of personal record with a listening resume of over 200 albums. Maybe it's because of this huge amount I think of this music year as a very good one, even if the peaks were higher 2008. This year have been like a Way Out West festival - Maybe not the best and biggest bands and releases but a whole lot of awesome medium goodies. In some upcoming blog posts I will reveal my favorite music from 2009 and the last decade. Maybe you will insist on what I'm about to say, maybe you don't give a shit. Maybe you will think I'm the godfather of good music taste, maybe you will think I suck harder than the best pornstar out there. Nevertheless I love lists because everyone can have an opinion about them, in one way or another. And of course, it's a good way for me to flash my excellent taste in good music. Hopefully you will get a lot of awesome tips along the way.
