Found some time to process the remaining bookmarks. Here are the rest of the 2009 posts/threads that are worth mentioning. Lots of gems to hunt for!! Stones Throw, Stef Free Jazz, Other Music, Headphone Commute, AMN, Adgy, Bleep etc.

* Thrill Jockey’s 2008 Advent Calendar.
* Hear a podcast of Jean-Jacques Perrey and Dana Countryman’s new CD “Destination Space”
* Austria’s They Shoot Music Don’t They is a one of a kind videoblog, which takes indie artists around Vienna and shoots videos of their acoustic performances.

2007 was very very lucrative for new music and even a top 50 list isn’t enough to cover the noteworthy albums. I’ll publish the top 50 list now and gradually go through them in the coming days with an mp3 for every album, till the end of this year.

The first 4 months have gone by and indeed 2007 has been lucrative for music. As the collective memory is so low these days and there’s so much production and hype, I want to emphasize the better stuff once more. Here’s a short recollection of what I’ve been listening to these past months.

* Our friend Squashed from Bricolage Fantasy has beaten me in providing the latest best of list of 2006.

Ok the list is finished, but there’s so much more to be added to the list, hopefully I’ll be reviewing them in 2007. Stuff from Koop, Ornette Coleman, Dosh, 17 Pictures, Asuna, Sierpinski, Annuals, Hella, I-Z, Skream, Svalastog, The Emperor Machine, White Magic, The Plants, Fin Fang Foom, KTL, Goldmund, Johann Johannsson, ISAN, Janek Schaefer, Oxford Collapse, Paul Wirkus, Dead Meadow, Wibutee..

Part 2 of the notable mentions of 2006 series.
* A Taste Of Ra – A Taste Of Ra
* Asobi Seksu – Citrus
* Black Ox Orkestar – Nisht Azoy
* Ekkehard Ehlers – A life without fear
* El Perro Del Mar – El Perro Del Mar
* In the Country – Losing Stones, Collecting Bones

Well, I’m still in a hurry and can’t devote enough time to undomondo, but I don’t want to finish 2006 without mentioning all who deserve to be mentioned. I’ve got around 30 albums/bands to mention here in my list, but uploading one song for all takes some time.
