note: The entire MdM members have been kidnapped by the martians. My dog ate the hardrive, and there was no music in later have of 2009… :P OK. I am squeezing a post in between busy time and that never finished decade list. Here are fun recent tracks that I like. Think crisp winter morning edgy dream pop. If there is such thing. One part new wave, one part dream pop, 2 part gentrified IDM synth, and 5 parts cool mint and winter breeze. Large open air. This almost sound like something Canadian TV would play. On serious note, check out Sonic Youth performance from last month at Morning become eclectic (courtesy Aquarium Drunkard) It never cease to amaze me how Sonic Youth has become the sound that can fit everywhere. Maybe finally experimental rock has been tamed and ready for public consumption… They play at NPR radio for pete’s sake. Second album is Mary-Anne Hobbs from planet Mu. Watch how the sound is toned down compared to her other IDM mix. It almost sound like a rock album. The track above is the proof if you don’t believe me. Anyway, everybody’s albums in above list is enjoyable. I think they work out nicely.
