The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition
The Temper Trap seemed to appear from nowhere. The theme song for '500 Days Of Summer', and one of the biggest tracks from down under this year.
Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks
Great band, great album, great song... very weird video.
Boys Noize - Jeffer
Boys Noize dominated electro in 2009 and this is one of the hottest tracks from his sophomore album 'Power!'
Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling
No one can deny the pop-takeover by Black Eyed Peas this year... As much as this song has been thrashed to death it was 'the' hottest track of 2009... bit of a shame really.
Peter, Bjorn & John - Lay It Down
I love the overly happy sound of this song despite it's underlying badass attitude, such a fun video too. Many memories of my old workplace associated with this track.
Djedjotronic - Gum Attack
Djedjotronic, One of the Boys Noize Records proteges, dropped this monster of a track early in the year and is still one of my favourite electro releases of 2009.
Weezer - Can't Stop Partying
The ultimate f-u to everything pop has ironically become Weezer's greatest 'pop' hit... go figure. This live video features Chamillionaire taking the reigns on the second verse.
Phoenix - 1901
Potentially my favourite song of 2009. This live performance on Letterman sounds so good and is a lot more exciting than the music video they released for this track.
Matt & Kim - Daylight
Best morning wake up song of 2009 by the happiest indie-pop duo in history?... I think so.
Michael Jackson - This Is It
The King of Pop's final offering... R.I.P.
There will definitely be a 'Part III'... Check out 'Part I' here.
