Top 5 Albums of 2009
My Top 5 albums of the year are;
1.Rx Bandits - Mandala
Favorite Track : "My Lonesome Only Friend"
2.Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca
Favorite Track : "Temecula Sunrise"
3.Portugal. The Man - The Satanic Satanist
Favorite Track : "Mornings"
4.The Flaming Lips - Embryonic
Favorite Track: "Worm Mountain"
5.Big D & the Kids Table - Fluent In Stroll
Favorite Tracks: "Describing the Sky", "I I I", "Down Around Here"
Honorable Mentions;
Grizzly Bear - The Veckatamist
Soulive - Up Here
Animal Collective - Fall Be Kind EP
The Mars Volta - Octahedron
Everytime I Die - New Junk Aesthetic
Rx Bandits was my far and away favorite but the rest were kinda tricky. I wrestled between Dirty Projectors and Portugal. The Man, and although The Satanic Satanist has more staying power for me, I ultimately think Bitte Orca is the superior album. What initially caught my attention and ended up setting them apart for me was the excellent use of the human voice and harmony. The beautiful and intricate arrangements that David Longsreth and the crew put together in the name of pop music is just outstanding.
Embryonic was everything I didn't know I wanted from the Flaming Lips. They brought back their noisey past by way of kraut-rock inspired grooves. The fearless and dramatic turn that the Lips took really defines why they are one of my favorite bands.
The Veckatamist was close to making the cut but I had to give it to Fluent In Stroll. Big D really went for it with this record and it fucking payed off. Its a shame, but Big D is really the only band doing something new and creative with ska. But be warned, although ska influenced, it is by no means a ska record. What it is, is a record full of sunny and up-beat inventiveness.
Octahedron, which I thought was just ok at first, has grown on me quite a bit. Although not my favorite Volta, its a new side of them and makes for a great record in their long discography. The new Animal Collective EP is also great with "What Would I Want Sky" being down-right infectious.
What ended up winning me over this year were the bands that did something new and progressive with their sound. All the records in my top 5 are departures from the respective artists usual sound. This sense of freshness and exploration is what I love in music, and these bands really embodied it this year.

Fuck it, we'll do it live
Welcome to Moose in a Box. This is my first post, and I thank you for reading. On this blog I'm going to post news, new songs/videos, album reviews, things I find interesting, and talk about my feelings on music/issues and hopefully try to see how it fits into life in general. But my first post is about perhaps my favorite aspect of music, live music.
Isn't it the best? I'm going to see what I expect to be some awesome shows this summer but am definitely looking for more in the Tri-State area. Any ideas, please let me know. Also, show me what your schedules are. So far here's mine;
6/30: Explosions in The Sky @ Central Park, NY
7/4: Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band @ NY (Free/pending work)
7/5: Algernon Cadwallader@ Piscataway, NJ (Free)
7/11: Reel Big Fish @ Starland, NJ
7/15: Dark Star Orchestra & Keller Williams @ Vasa Park, NJ
7/19: Warped Tour @ Oceanport, NJ
7/23-26: Gathering of the Vibes @Oceanport, CT (still pending money)
7/29: Rx Bandits @ TLA Philadelphia, PA
7/31: Soulive & John Scofield @ Brooklyn, NY (FREE!!)
8/5: Portugal. The Man @ Mercury Lounge Brooklyn, NY
8/12: Blink 182, Fallout Boy & Panic At The Disco @ Hershey, PA (I know, epic right?)
Luckily there's only one conflict this summer, between Rx Bandits and Yes which Rx will probably win out. Some other possibilities include The Flaming Lips in Philly with Explosions in the sky, Moe in Vasa Park, and Animal Collective in NY. Expect some sort of review for these shows.
For the bands that aren't touring this summer, we luckily have streaming video. Here are some quality full length streaming concerts. Check out the site the Circa show is from for a bunch of other cool shows too. Also, all these sets take place outside of the US. Weird.
Circa Survive in Australia
Radiohead in Japan
Tortoise in Werchter
