End of the Year Music Wrap Up
Newcomers (to me):
Rufus Wainwright - At the end of the summer, Ben and I did a romantic weekend at a hot springs in north of SF. On the drive up, we listened to Want One and as Ben explained the meaning of each song and why he loved it, it finally clicked in my head how fantastic Rufus is. Didn't stop listening for the rest of the year.
Eagles of Death Metal - Always loved Josh Homme, finally got the discography of this band and of course loved it. Excellent rock that makes me think of driving around LA.
St. Vincent - Actually got introduced to her by a friend during finals last December as good study music and fell in love. Really good indie pop.
Zoot Woman - I've been into Stuart Price's songwriting and production for a while (I mean, duh, I do love Madonna). And even though Clay tried to get me into them years ago, I finally got the discography this year and loved it. Super fun electro pop.
iamamiwhoami - loved the weird, mysterious youtube videos and beyond that, loved the music. Perfect mellow, melancholy electro.
Nicole Atkins - Ben was listening to this record (literally the vinyl) when I went over to his place to meet him for our first date. Only got the mp3s from him this year though and of course loved it (I was a little distracted during that first listen). Great lush indie.
Miike Snow - Fun electropop.
Miami Horror - more fun electro.
Ssion/MVSCLZ - super gay fun electro/disco.
Sleigh Bells - fun electro.
Marina & the Diamonds - Part of that new wave of female fronted pop/rock bands out of the UK.
