The end of 2009 is almost here, so its time to sum of the music year for my part and I have created a playlist on Spotify. The order is more or less chronologically from when I discovered them. Though some tracks might be older than 2009, but they are on the list as I haven’t discovered them before this year. There are some odd ones, and they are on the list simply cause they were fun (and very catchy!) like Rybak and David Guetta. Not quite sure what mood you would be in if you listen to the whole list in one go, but they all got my approval!

1. Thunderheist “Jerk it”
2. Miss Harmonica “Friday Night”
3. Kid Cudi “Day n Nite”
4. Alexander Rybak “Fairytale”
5. Dizzee Rascal “Bonkers”
6. Peter Fox “Alles neu”
7. Lily Allen “Smile”
8. Maskinen “Alla som inta dansar”
9. Kings of Convenience “Boat Behind”
10. La Roux “In for the kill”
11. Lars Vaular “Solbriller på”
12. Veronica Maggio “Mandågsbarn”
13. Jay-Z “D.O.A.”
14. Miike Snow “Animal”
15. Prodigy “Omen”
16. David Guetta “Sexy bitch”
17. The Bloody Beetroots “Awesome”
18. Kråkesølv “Privat regn”
19. Bjørn Hellfuck “Krabbeklo”
20. The Nextmen “Round of Applause”
21. Einar Stray “Arrows”
22. My Little Pony “A song for you on your 40th birthday”
23. Therese Aune “Chamelon”

Enjoy my “Best of 2009″ music
So what was my favourite?! I think most listened to album were by Lily Allen and Miike Snow. So now you know.

Concerts

• Girl Talk Live in Oslo
  Last years Øya was fun. This concert was even better!
• Prodigy were amazing! Didnt see that one coming from my old favourites.
• Donkeyboy’s “Ambitions” performed by Marie Alming at Radio Nova Simply cause I didnt expect any performances at the Christmas party and her song took me be surprise. Great surprise!

Free music

• Alex Goose Blueprint 3 Outtakes I must say that the Outtakes are much better than the songs that got on Jay-Z’s album
• Kutiman’s Youtube tracks This is what the web is all about, free mashups that would exist without the Internet.
• Rockettothesky “Hee-ho and a Bottle of Rum” Have heard the song before on couple of her concerts, but great to get it on track

Video

• By far Peter Fox with “Schwarz zu blau”

Thanks to
YesYesYall and Radio Nova’s Bra Trommis for making me discover loads of great new music! Keep up the good work!

ps. Loads of Best of 2009 lists can be found at Platekompaniet’s website

Well, actually someone did release the song “Hee-ho and a Bottle of Rum”, but I haven´t found it before now. I´ve heard this song live before, but getting a free mp3 is all good! Rockettothesky played 29.03.2008 at the The Rhâââ Lovely Festival in Belgium. Together with The Silent Ballet they released the compilation “2008 Rhaaa Lovely Festival Compilation”. It has several other bands such as Magyar Posse, Rien and The CJ Boyd Sexxxtet… Download the whole album for free now

Saw the TV3 commercial the other day and really enjoyed the song, it turned out to be Lisa Mitchell with “Neopolitan dreams”.

Found a great track today by Roll Deep “The Avenue” while listening to Last.fm. Found it on Youtube. The video has been uploaded by someone else than EMI, namely “aleduke”. Rather than asking him to remove it from Youtube, EMI says: “Embedding disabled by request”. Oh the joys of the musicindustry…

Just found this Band: A BIG YES… and a small no Quirky, almost ska-ish, indie pop? Yeah, that categorisation works for me!

Still not used to the new artist name Son Of Light. Like the old one better. Either way, finally he has new music out which you can listen to at MySpace. Think Son and Pop is pretty cool

Back in 1991 Del tha Funkee Homosapien got famous with the hit “Mistadobalina”. He hasnt really been away, eventhough I almost only heard about him through Gorillaz. Anyways, point is he is giving away his latest album Funk Man (the stimulus package) for free. You only have to sign up for his newsletter (which you can sign off from any time). Loads of other music there too for free. Sweet.

I guess it was almost just a matter of time, now Last.fm wants my money. Only $3 a month, but still. A shame. Loads say that Spotify will win this battle, but I use these sites differently, so I believe both can live side by side. Seems like all sites start like this, free at start, get loads of users, then trying to figure out how to get money, then subscription charges pop-up. Reality bites.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25fWx9i-7iI] WOW! what a concert at Blå yesterday! Half the audience jumping up and down on stage with the mashup guru. Seldom seen so many people with such a grin on their face. Captain Credible did a great warm-up too!

Sorry for sound quality, but the concert was LOUD. And great!

Kutiman mixes songs and musicclips from YouTube into quite funky songs. See all his songs on YouTube or his website http://www.thru-you.com
My favourite song is called “I’m New. Here it goes: Kutiman (Thru-you)
