I am just as baffled as you might be by the name of this post... ABC news has added a new segment on their site creatively titled "New Music Mondays" First off, I can't believe that ABC news would even be aware that such a thing as new music exists... I imagine those uptight weird old men listening gleefully to the 1984 Kenny G Christmas album year round, or maybe best case scenario would be Oprah's album of the month club (I wonder if that exists). Anyway, somewhere in the belly of that beast exists a kindred spirit who was sharp enough to point to Ryan Schreiber the founder of Pitchfork rather than leaving the discovery process to Charlie Gibson... Check it out RIGHT HERE

I was pleasantly surprised to see that among Bon Iver, who I reviewed HERE, and Antony and the Johnsons which I reviewed HERE, there was also the unlikely addition of The Wavves which I reviewed HERE. I wonder how Nathan Williams of The Wavves feels about being profiled on ABC news when his album isn't even really out yet... The world is getting to be a very strange place these days. Anyway, thought I'd share, mainly just to convince myself this was real and that I wasn't making this up in my sleepy sleepy head. If they had mentioned Little Joy I would have sent a cease and desist to ABC news immediately!

Parents, I want you to join hands with me and sing the praises of the Glockenspeil! Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Radiohead There are lullaby versions of other bands available as well. I heard The Cure "Just Like Heaven" today... Very nice, but the Radiohead versions were definitely created by a real fan. The renditions were created almost exclusively with the glockenspeil, vibraphone, and various other tonal percussion instruments. They are wonderful for fans, grandparent tested, and my little lady eats them up...

RADIOHEAD - NO SURPRISES (LULLABY VERSION)

Weddings Unveiled ...a great publication for a bride with good taste. we are very excited to be in it. To see the full wedding from this feature, CLICK HERE

...and the Jeezy, Lil Wayne, Beyonce, and all that other crap that made it to everyone else's best of 2008 lists... Don't get me wrong, we play the big pop songs and club heaters when the occasion calls for it, but the tracks that moved the dancefloors I was in charge of this year flew a bit lower on the radar...

Day 'N' Nite (Crookers Remix) - Kid Cudi Plain and simple club killer. Not many know about this guy but I have heard that Kanye is on his jock pretty hard right now.

Vuvuvu - Mstrkrft I love a track that slows and speeds, this is the best one I have ever heard. Another is French Kiss by Masters at Works' Lil Louis Vega

I Got Bass - Busta Rhymes This got some radio play in NY this year but I think it was pretty short lived. This was my theme song this Summer. Put this on full blast in your rental car in San Francisco and you'll understand why...

Oscar - Cool Kids The name of the group does represent who this track was made for. Not for the top 40 crowd but a big pleaser in the hipster joints.

Creator - Santogold I know, I know, pretty predictable but this is just such a fucking monster! In the world of djs this is a mind melter.

Paper Planes – MIA Another no brainer, but those gun shots never fail to please.

Everyone Nose (Remix) (Feat. CRS & Pusha T) - N.E.R.D. All the girls standing in the lines for the bathroom!!!!

Jigsaw Falling Into Place - Radiohead This didn't make many people dance, but it always made people geek the hell out!

And there you have it... 2008 was one of the best years in the history of ever in my personal life... But with the exception of Obama it was, by far, one of the most lack lustre years ever. Here's to 2009!!!
