Wild Beasts (Best Of 2009-Addendum)

Ok, so it was bound to happen- As soon as I release my Best Of Mix, I start remembering other songs that somehow “fell off the truck”. For the most part, I’m trying to be zen about it-what’s done is done, etc. However,  All The Kings Men by Wild Beasts deserved to have been on that list and damnit, you guys are at least going to listen to it once before the new year is upon us.

Animal Collective, for blowing everyone’s minds with this trippy-ass album art, and providing a perfect soundtrack for the summer.

Warpaint, for making me want to stop washing my hair and start a band with my best girl-friends. (And for their hypnotic and gorgeous melodies.)

Yeasayer, for being the only band to make it onto my list twice without even having an official record release in 2009.

Now, on to the full list…
