The Unblinking Ear Podcast: Illest Jamz '09

(One of 2009's most intriguing people)

I had hoped to complete this best of 2009 podcast sometime before, you know, 2009 ended. However, I forgot that the time off one gets for the holidays are often just as exhausting as any working week.

Despite an informal year-end round up I posted, I have yet to compile a conveniently enumerated list of my year's top albums. And I don't think I will, for reasons better explained by Ben Tausig at Dusted. However, if you really feel you need a list, I will create and send you one upon request, though I must warn you that after the top spot occupied by Reigning Sound and a silver medal for Grass Widow, the order will be fairly arbitrary.

There are some folks whom I hold in high regard that did make list and contain a bunch of records that escaped my field of vision. (Field of earshot? Auditory range?) Check them out and see how many of these stragglers wander into my next podcast:

The Unblinking Ear Podcast: Judged By The Company One Keeps


You know, I honestly thought the type of stuff I played was the antithesis of safe, soft NPR-approved indie rock. I suppose I'm not nearly as irreverent as I think I am.

Thus, the next podcast will consist entirely of punk rock songs about serial killers, child molesters and necrophiliacs. I've already got Mentally Ill's "Gacy's Place" and Solger's "Raping Dead Nuns" cued up. (And I'm not entirely sure that I'm joking.)

A quick note: This post was accidentally sent out via iTunes as a podcast because I linked an MP3 of Volcano Suns' "White Elephant." This was not at all intentional and I'll be more careful in the future. Thus far, no one has complained but since they got a free MP3 of a top 100 all time rock tune, why would they?
