   Thanks Sheila! I referenced your post as a related post in this one. My video got a comment from a Texan against reform. I hope your embed will spark people in favor of it. Great blog you have!

   Very funny, John. Did you also see that CBS showed the offensive kiss this morning but blurred out the faces? I wonder if Adam and Harry Smith had a little fun while Maggie was doing another hard hitting interview.

   No, I didn't see it. How pathetic. They probably only did it because
   they're the lowest rated morning network.

   Your career is finished, Joe!

   You join Senator Joe McCarthy—as the most despised Senators in History.

   Thanks @Dthomas. Help spread this around. I want him to be toast in the social media sphere.

    Tracy, thanks for the tips. I will check those out. I love the new
    Vampire Weekend track Cousins. And the Annie LP was on my list. Thanks.
14. jvasko

    Posted January 2, 2010 at 3:40 PM

    Scott, thanks for your recommendations. I'll give those tracks a
    listen. Do you like the whole Animal Collective album? Glad you liked
    Howling Bells.

    To me, that Bat for Lashes song sounds a LITTLE like Fleetwood Mac's 1982 album, Mirage (the one with “Gypsy” and “Hold Me,”) after the 1:00 mark.

    Nice List!
    If I were to put my top 10 for 2009, this would be it.
    Some might not be from “2009″, but they were new to me in 2009.

    Glasvegas – Geraldine
    the grizzly bears – two weeks
    snow den – anti-anti
    One Eskimo – Kandi
    Zoe Keating – Sun Will set
    Brett Dennen – San Francisco
    Mat Kearney – All I need
    Gomez – Airstream Driver
    Monsters of Folk – Baby Boomer

    Troy,

    I love the Glasvegas album and especially Geraldine-the social worker!
    I have to get and listen to Grizzly Bear. It's on everyone's lists.
    Love the One Eskimo track you turned me on to. Mat Kearney I just
    heard recently and I remember his voice sounding like Chris Martin's.
    Haven't hears the new Gomez or Monsters of Folk. I'll check them out.

    Thanks Bogdan, I'll check that point out. Loved that Fleeteood Mac
    album.

    Nice list John, listening right now on Lala. A few overlaps with the list I made; Muse , La Roux, Arctic Monkeys, Editors, Fever Ray. I sent you my list too (Gigsby on Lala). Wishing you much great music in 2010!
20. jvasko

    Posted January 3, 2010 at 10:37 AM

    Bora,

    Already got through half of your list on LaLa. I loved the Fuck
    Buttons track, Temper Trap, and Maps. Love that album. Will send you a
    note when finished. Thanks for the comment.

    Great list–John!

    just wanted to say i love the Bat for Lashes song—she reminds me a little of Tori Amos, and actually, i hear an instrumental riff in the song that is straight out of Tori's song “Caught a light sneeze”. But she blows Adele out of the woods!

    Thanks Scott. Glad you enjoyed them. The Dubai ones will be posted
    separately.

    Wow, how cool to see the other side of the family! I'm glad to hear everyone was so hospitable. How was the tea over there?

    Thanks Diane. I spent a lot of time on them. Glad you enjoyed them.

    I loved the Old Dubai , New Dubai video with the music; you are so clever that someone out there in this vast network marketing arena should definitely hire you to promote their company with videos with that excellent selection of music-very entertaining. May I just say that the real estate video was quite clever too. New type of exposure to Fran and the like. patty

    Thanks Patty. I appreciate it. The real estate one was a test!

    I recently got a $50 gift card to iTunes so I've been using your postings to guide me to new music and get out of my same old music rut. Your “best of” list has been particularly helpful. Many thanks!
32. jvasko

    Posted February 18, 2010 at 6:47 PM

    That just made my day! And here I thought no one was paying attention!
    Thanks Diane.

    Posted February 18, 2010 at 6:48 PM

    My top albums for 2009 will be out soon too.
34. Diane

    Posted February 19, 2010 at 7:30 AM

    I am definitely paying attention!! If it weren't for you, how else would I know about this music. Honestly, I'd probably only heard of two of the artists before reading your posts. Radio out here sucks, I don't go to clubs, I'm in musical hell with only WPLR that plays nothing but the same old Aerosmith, Led Zep, etc. And it's guaranteed that if they announce that a Clash song will be coming up, it will be Rock the Casbah. Makes me want to scream. Would it kill them to just once play Magnificent Seven???
35. jvasko

    Posted February 19, 2010 at 7:49 AM

    Diane, Radio is pathetic almost everywhere I think – except in those small
    college towns where they have college radio. I totally agree with you. There
    are so many other great Clash songs. If someone from another country were
    visiting here and driving around with the radio on, they would think we were
    still in the 70's or 80's (unless of course they were listening to the
    oldies channel!)

    Also, I highly recommend http://www.kcrw.com/. You can listen over the
    Internet to their Eclectic 24. They have links for the playlists and also
    have a lot of in studio performances. It's been a favorite of mine since I
    lived in CA and I'm so glad I can access it here via the Internet. You can
    also look at the DJ's picks under the music tab.

    I will definitely send you a copy of my Top Albums compilation for 2009 as
    soon as I'm finished.
