Countdown a Coming

Welcome to Postmodern Accident. As a publishing entity, we did next to nothing this year and now the year's over. We love blogging soooo much.

THE MUSIC OF 2009

It's telling that of Pitchfork's Top 50 Albums of 2009 so far, I only own two. The first, I bought two weeks ago. The other, I bought months ago but have never bothered to listen to it. Meanwhile, I have five albums in their honorable mentions list, some of which I really like and may rank high on my own personal countdown. So if this isn't a sign of my tastes diverging from that of the kids nowadays, I'm not sure what is. I did next to nothing this year and now the year's over. I love approaching 40 soooo much.

The striking thing for me is that for some reason I think 2009 has been a good music year—much better than 2008, which I whined about here. Thus I feel compelled to talk about some of my favorite releases. I don't know if it will be a top 15 again, or maybe a top 10, or even an 8, but it will be typically postmodern and generally out of fashion, so stay tuned, if anyone at all is still even paying attention to this blog.
