2009's best music.

I listen to NPR's All Songs Considered pod cast, follow them on twitter and I'm Bob Boilen, the main DJ's friend on facebook. I love ASC basically. And NPR. Recently Boilen asked people what their favorite albums were so far this year. Here's a handful of songs from my favorite albums:


Passion Pit's album Manners


From Grizzly Bear's album Veckatimest


From Neko Case's album Middle Cyclone


From Animal Collective's album Merriweather Post Pavillion

This is turning out to be a wonderful year for music. Its just half over! So much more to come:)
What albums do you love so far?

Also, I have started a new photo blog: Les photos et leurs Histoires.

Grizzly Bear and The Red Balloon.

This is a beautiful video that I just had to share. I've been watching it all morning. I first saw it over at Cup of Jo, a blog you should all follow. I know my life is better now that I've found this blog:) About the video though, its edited with scenes from Albert Lamorisse's "La Ballon Rouge" (The Red Balloon), set to Grizzly Bear's song "Two Weeks". So lovely and enchanting. Really.

*I'm sorry the video isn't centered!
