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.

We’ve always been late late in dealing with the passing year; but this time we’re way into the new one. God only knows what next year will bring but knowing that lots of readers are still hunting good albums from 2008 here’s one final post about 2008 with a cream of the crop selection and we go straight to 2009! Promise!

Here’s our metalist of the most interesting best of lists from around the net, featuring (Thank God) more than the run-of-the-mill bands that you can find everywhere. Selected lists from Tiny Mix Tapes, Destination Out, Boomkat, Headphone Commute, The Decibel Tolls, The Wire, Rateyourmusic etc.

For some reason even though undomondo readership has been fairly stagnant (about 10K people a month if you wonder) somehow the amount of PR material we get has increased exponentially. These are the songs that has trickled down through over 200 emails we got last month.

* Samim – Heater (Diplo Remix)
* Sonny Sharrock – Kula-Mae
* Burial – Untrue
* British Sea Power – Waving Flags

* Mofongo – Tumbao
* Realistic – The Camera Track
* Josh Mease – Days Like This
* a delicacy from our Swiss reader Calobbes, a free jazz compilation, lovingly shared with us.

Haven’t been checking thru what the other mp3blogs have been up to for a long while, today I tried to check back using hype machine but i could only stroll through 3 days or so because there was too much stuff!! Anyways, here’s a quality selection from today’s session and some more stuff I previously labeled as `feature` :

While I listen to a lot of mood setting ambient & experimental stuff, I’m primarily a song guy. Whenever even a tiny bit of chorus or riff occupies my mind, I can’t stop repeat-listening the song. However it takes around 4-5 listens to memorize every aspect of the song, so the passion dies probably within a week but there’s always a new challenger that runs in my head.
