JDK's 2009 in Rock

Everyone loves a good gun-jumping. And, while I figure everyone is either on break or about to travel to said break, here's one of four year-end mixes I made that could soundtrack some of that holiday fun/mind-numbing boredom.

Also: I won't be doing any best-of-decade lists. Forget that shit; if I can't figure out what my favorites of the 1990s were, forget the 00s. And you need some hindsight, people.

So here are some of my favorite rock songs of the year. Their respective albums might not have made my list of favorite albums, but these tracks definitely stand out.

1. Metric - Help I'm Alive
2. Phoenix - 1901
3. The National - So Far Around The Bend
4. The Thermals - Now We Can See
5. Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks
6. The Pains of Being Pure At Heart - Young Adult Friction
7. Future of the Left - Arming Eritrea
8. Oneida - I Will Haunt You
9. Spoon - Got Nuffin'
10. A Place To Bury Strangers - Ego Death
11. Japandroids - Sovereignty
12. We Were Promised Jetpacks - Quiet Little Voices
13. Franz Ferdinand - Lucid Dreams (Single + Album Version JDK Megamix)
14. The Antlers - Bear

Tomorrow: some of my favorite electronic songs of the year. Thursday: favorite "random" songs of the year (e.g. some hip-hop, some weird stuff, etc.). Friday: my favorite songs at this point in my life (sans "1979" by The Smashing Pumpkins because somehow I forgot it). Saturday: All the albums I listened to plus my eight most favorites. Sunday: Notable albums that didn't make the top-eight cut.

Mux026: August 2009

I'm like a magazine: saying some shiz is next month when it's really this month. Just wanted to make my third Mux of July and not label it as such. But when good new stuff comes out, I can't help but cannibalize albums for some twelve-track mix.
