I've been listening to a bunch of new music recently. And here's the kicker - most of it's like...really good. Like way better (on the whole, at least) than 2009. Last year saw phenomenal albums from Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors, and The Antlers. It saw really really good albums from another 20 or so bands. But if the first month is any indication, 2010 will blow it out of the water, musically.
Look at the exciting albums coming out in only the first two months of 2010: Vampire Weekend, OK Go, Spoon, RJD2, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Free Energy, Los Campesinos!, Magnetic Fields, Four Tet, Massive Attack, Hot Chip, Local Natives, David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, Toro Y Moi, The Streets, etc. etc. etc. It's pretty insane, really.
I've stumbled across a few tracks that really get me going in the past few days - a tune from Vampire Weekend's Contra and new Massive Attack, to name a couple. Check 'em out, they're tasty indications of the great tunes coming out this month and next!

Massive Attack - Pray For Rain (f. Tunde Adebimpe of TV On The Radio) (YSI)
