Here’s the spanking new video of Karen O, Yeah Yeah Yeahs for Skeletons. Well crafted video and seems to fit the song like a glove. I said it and will say it again, but I just love how the Yeah Yeah Yeahs project through the years, while some might say that they lost some of their rawness, I think they gained in maturity. You’ll also find the acoustic version of the song down below, a song that was part of the iTunes bonus songs if I remember correctly.

If last year retrospective was called ‘Laisse Moi Tranquille 2008‘ since it was quite fitting considering the fact that I wanted nothing else from it, 2009 on the other hand was quite different, like I said in my previous post, it shared it’s own of ups and downs but the pace was more stable than 2008… leaving me time to breathe, which was a very good thing.

Anyway, I’ve always found that making lists was a bit egotastic as everyone has different tastes and rarely you will find an universal list for anything, at least a list that is ranked. Which is why, my lists are not actually ranked as I also find it very hard to put music in order, especially when so many good albums came out in 2009.

I highly suggest to check out the albums that I listed down below if you never did or heard of them before. They’re also accompagnied by reviews, a thing that I never (or rarely) did before, something I’ll probably look up to in twenty ten.

ps. I had to make them as images, because I couldn’t format my post in ‘advanced html’ with the use of <div> nor <table> … somehow Tumblr does not allow that.

A-Trak does what he knows best and remix the shit out of the first single, Heads Will Roll, of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs latest album. Best remix I’ve heard lately, but then again, would you expect anything else from A-Trak?

My friend and I were talking the other day and he was saying that listening to Taking Back Sunday was sort of a guilty pleasure now, and that I probably wouldn’t dare putting some Taking Back Sunday at a party. But you know what? I totally would, because even though I did broaden my musical knowledge, I’m still a sucker for anything Brand New will release and I’m waiting for Taking Back Sunday’s next album like a teenie booper. I’ve always listen to pretty much everything, and always will no matter what.

That said, here’s some music I was blasting through the headphones of my CD player back in the days. (no early mp3 player, iPod or even mini-disk player for me, I was keeping it real! ahah)

First of all, happy christmas eve to everyone visiting the blog. You know when I started this blog back in September, I never thought I’d be serving over 10 unique visitors per days, much less 50 … so in this season of generosity and everything, I just want to thanks everyone for stopping by everyday and making me know that there is people reading and listening to the stuff I post when I’m bored at work.

So yeah! i’m just stopping by to say that i will take some day off from posting stuff on this blog for a couple of days due to christmas (but especially because I don’t have access to a computer nor internet for a couple of days except from my iphone :)), so have a good one, and i’ll see you guys soon.
