I’d like to welcome Cottage Days and Button Fields to our internet home. I still have to take some photos for the site *cough cough* Julian *cough*. All of us at Kingfisher Bluez are really looking forward to working on some projects with these guys. Cottage Days is Colin from Eek! and of course Button Fields is the Kingfisher Bluez house band (feat. Pretty Eyes For Captain America on guitar!). I’ll keep you very up to date with info on the upcoming KFB releases but let’s just say we’re going to have a very busy year!
On that note, I’d like to take a look back at 2009 and tell you what records I thought were the best. This is my list off of the wall at Scratch Records, I had to narrow it down from a top 50 so it was hard but here it is (I’ve excluded hip-hop (for another list) as well as reissues, compilations and EPs:
The Top Ten Albums Of 2009
by Tim the mute
In no order:
Morrissey- Years Of Refusal
Pains Of Being Pure At Heart- S/T
Atlas Sound- Logos
Antony and the Johnsons- The Crying Light
Sonic Youth- The Eternal
Manic Street Preachers- Journal For Plague Lovers
Passion Pit- Manners
The xx- S/T
Girls- Album
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs- It’s Blitz!
And there it was.
So sorry to: The Swell Season, Kurt Vile, Camera Obscura, Bear In Heaven, Cymbals Eat Guitars, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Real Estate, Phoenix, Flaming Lips and Japandroids who all made great albums too!
