Songs of 2009 part 5

Had this open in the window all day, and forgot about it until now! It's all been a bit hectic...

eta: one late addition at top


## Moth's Wings by Passion Pit
from Manners

I was lucky to receive this CD for Christmas. This song is so pretty, all glintering noises as a backdrop and driving beat and airy voices.

Moth's Wings


## The Good News by Philadelphia Grand Jury
from Hope is For Hopers

Aussie pop-rock, immensely catchy with great fuzzy guitars and a rhythmic keyboard line that should drive me mad but really just makes me want to dance.

(If you missed it, here's the write-up of their show at the Factory a week ago.)

The Good News


## 1901 by Phoenix
from Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

Shimmery electro-pop. I love the first half of the album more than the latter, but in the right mood it's a lot of fun, and again, totally makes me want to dance.

1901


## These Are My Twisted Words by Radiohead
online single

A new Radiohead song is always welcome. A free one even more so! This is a moody (hah - when is it not?) track that's a touch of Amnesiac (wait! come back!) and In Rainbows era sound.

These Are My Twisted Words


## Bodies by Robbie Williams
from Reality Killed the Radio Star

Ignore the faux-irreligious nonsensical lyrics; focus on the music. The genius of Robbie Williams' latest album sees a return of some ridiculous catchy pop songs like this, that marries a jagged electronic sound with a lush string section and manages to sound so grand and pretty.

Watch: This video is crap. But it has brooding Robbie, on a motorcycle.
