Top 10s for 2009: Nick Triani

List of 2009

01. The Rollstons "Gauguin's trunk". The best band ever to come out of Finland and am still dreaming of them touring one day with Bob Hund.

02. Bill Callahan "Sometimes I wish we were an eagle"

03. Tottenham Hotspur. Somehow amazingly good this year.

04. Grizzly Bear : Veckatimest

05. Deerhunter live in Tavastia, Helsinki 2009.

06. Pavement reformation. Now this is the real second coming.

07. Blogs, Twitter, Facebook, e-mail: more time than ever in front of a screen and I don't even own a TV

08. Barack Obama

09. Devaluing music & musicians, the latest desperate episode = Spotify.

10. Animal Collective for any record this year or this decade.
