Dylan Going's 2009 Favorites

Dylan Going's favorites of 2009:

• Vybz Kartel + Spice - "Romping Shop": The five or six times a day it was played on the radio I could picture what it's going to be like when this is the first song that plays at my wedding.
• work/death - "Accepting Irreplaceable Mechanics" c34 (Three Songs Of Lenin) Worth tracking down the P.O. Box to get it (pictured below)
• Bill Orcutt - "A New Way to Pay Old Debts" LP (Palilalia) Way great
• Franco El Gorila - "Welcome to the Jungle" (WY Records/MacheteMusic): Action, romance, staggering synth work, the B-52s, etc.
• Schlachthofbronx feat. Slush Puppy Kids - "Belly Full of Pills" EP (Disko B) Still can't pronounce it
• Drunkdriver + Mattin - "List of "Profound Insecurities" 12" (Badmaster): Some band learned how to play Megadeth songs backwards on dental equipment and kept my attention for all 24 inches of vinyl. Bravo!
• Twinsistermoon - "Hollow Mountain" (Dull Knife): Like a 17th century France monastery on Nembutal and Salvia
• Rusted Shut - "Dead" (Load) No regard for my well-being
• Charles Albright - "I'm on Drugs" 7" (SS): After the solo in this, I didn't have a hard time believing it
• Portal - "Swarth" (Profound Lore): Sounds as wild as the clock on the singer's head thing is

DG's Favorite live tracks from the Free Music Archive (after the jump)

It's been quite an initial year for the FMA! There's way too much going on within these 15,000 tracks to get an all-encompassing favorite free music of 2009 but I thought I'd give a shout out to some of my favorite live recordings I saw come through within the comfortable confines of an embeddable FMA mix. Along with nine other instant classics, I've included one of my favorite recorded live bits this year: Dan Deacon imploring the Spanish-speaking crowd at Primavera Sound 09 to follow his human tunnel instructions. Speak English or die...in a poorly buttressed tunnel made of Deacadets! Also, I don't know if it ruins it for you or not, but I just found out the Master Musicians of Bukkake aren't actually from Bukkake. The track's still good though.

The thing about it is....I don't think Charles Albright's actually on any drugs besides a modest intake of beers!
