In reference to my last post, I love the New Year. Not just because of the festivities, drunk chicks, crowded bars and utter mayhem, but also because it's an allowance to talk about the best of. Which pretty much means I can talk about shit that happened in early or middle 2009 without seeming too out of the loop. I also promised I wasn't going to be that prick that does a best of, but I will use this to my advantage.
2009 was a pinnacle year for music with outstanding releases from 'Animal Collective', 'Passion Pit', 'The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs', 'MGMT' just to name a few. It was also a year for the emergence of new bands, most notably Swedish super-group 'Miike Snow'. When I say super-group, I mean they're a group of musicians and I think they're super.
Always have I been a fan of songs about a girl. I find something so passionate about a song bearing their name and words to tell her story, even if she is fictitious. There are countless women that have been immortalized; Lola, Roxanne, Julia, Veronica, Natalie, Ophelia, Rosanna, Nikki, Sylvia, Jane, Emily, Billie Jean, Eleanor, Cecilia, Gloria, Jane and so on and so forth. Now you can 'Silvia' to that list courtesy of 'Miike Snow'. This one rivals any of the aforementioned and is one of my favourite songs from the past year from one of my favourite groups of the past year.
Take some time to get to know Miike, he's new here and is a really nice guy. Who knows, you might even become BFF's.
