The 100 Best Tracks of 2009, 100 Best Songs of 2009, 100 Best Cuts of 2009, Whatever You Want to Call This

March 24, 2009 · 57 Comments

Some things you should know about this if you’re here for the first time:


1. This is not an attempt to list the bestselling or most popular stuff out there – it’s strictly for fun.


2. If you’re looking for Taylor Swift or Jason Mraz or anyone who’s ever been on American Idol, you are about as faraway from all that garbage as you can possibly be right now. Welcome to our world of incredibly good, fun songs that 99% of the world (ok, maybe not 99%) have never heard of!


3. As we’ve got another four weeks to go in 2009, this page is probably 95% complete, but since it won’t be finalized i.e “official” til the end of December, there will no doubt be some last-minute surprises.   So bookmark this if you’re interested in what’s really happening under the radar, if you like kind of stuff that’s too edgy for the corporate media and their mindless followers at the blogs.


 

If you’re interested, here’s our 50 Best Albums of 2009 list (still a work in progress), our Best-of-2008 list and our Top 50 Albums of 2008. Now here’s what we have so far for 09:


 

1.  Bobby Vacant & the Weary – Never Looking Back

Scary stuff, new album out on Luxotone.


 

2.  Bobby Vacant & the Weary – Tear Back the Night

The title track.

4.  Dan Bryk – My Alleged Career

A funny, spot-on slap at major label stupidity.

Smartly metaphorical urban country. Ryan Adams (who produced) on piano.


 

6.  The Brooklyn What – Gentrification Rock

Way apropos.


 

7.  Dan Bryk – City Of

The most hilariously accurate view of the state of the music world, 2009.


 

8. Jay Bennett - I’ll Decorate My Love

Haunting solo acoustic from the late Wilco virtuoso.


 

9. Jay Bennett - The Engines Are Idle

Even more haunting.


 

10.  The French Exit – Bad Sign

Slowly slinky noir cabaret meets goth meets Godspeed You Black Emperor on this ferocious new one by the excellent NYC underground rockers. It’s on their myspace.


 

11. The Brooklyn What - The In-Crowd

“Is this the crowd, the crowd you wanna be in? Nah, nah nah nah, nah nah, nah nah!”


 

12. The Brooklyn What – No Chords

A quiet, funny, brutally satirical number about gentrification and trendoids from their new cd.


 

13. Curtis Eller’s American Circus – Sugar for the Horses

Aptly aphoristic, sardonically cynical oldtimey ragtime number from the excellent NYC banjoist/tunesmith. Also from Wirewalkers & Assassins.


 

14. Botanica - How

Check their new live cd americanundone for this killer gypsy punk song.


 

15. The Oxygen Ponies - Love Yr Way

Love in a time of choler – under the Bush regime. From their amazing new cd Harmony Handgrenade.

Snarling, smart anticonformist rock from the winner of the Boston Phoenix’s Best Boston Band competition.

Towering, majestic art-rock dirge from the NYC rocker’s excellent new cd Songs About Birds & Ghosts


 

19. Gillen and Turk - Dear Mr. President

Undoubtedly written during the Bush regime.


 

20. Jang Sa-ik - Wild Rose

Big Orbison-esque hit for the Korean crooner, soon to be a big world music crossover hit here in the US.


 

21. Vera Beren’s Gothic Chamber Blues Ensemble – The Nod

Arguably the most charismatic frontwoman in rock, the ferocious, dramatic contralto chanteuse attacks this with gale force.


 

22. McGinty and White – Knees

One of the great lyrics of the decade. “You can keep my heart, you bitch, just give me back my knees.”


 

23. Jenifer Jackson - Groundward

Dark, murky, minimalist fingerpicked dirge. Unreleased.


 

24. The Asylum Street Spankers – My Baby in the CIA

Hilarious, spot-on Bush-era commentary from the Texas oldtimey crew.


 

25. Livia Hoffman – All My Imaginary Children

Intense, casually sardonic ballad by one of the most under-the-radar songwriters out there.


 

26. Marty Willson-Piper - The Sniper

The ethics of assassination in about six understated riveting minutes from the great songwriter and twelve-string guitarist of the Church.


 

27. The Jazz Funeral - Goodnight (Is How I Say Goodbye)

Bitter, propulsive janglerock anthem from maybe the best band ever from Staten Island, NY. Free download.


 

28. Kelli Rae Powell - The Craggy Shuffle

The sultry oldtimey siren gets dark and apocalyptic here. “There’s nothing bad that can’t get worse.”


 

29. Marty Willson-Piper - Feed Your Mind

Margaritaville transposed to an unnamed tourist bar somewhere in western Europe – absolutely hilarious.


 

30. The Asylum Street Spankers – TV Party

Black Flag cover updated for the end of the zeros. Also hilarious.


 

31. System Noise – Untitled

This is a real departure for the NYC-based art/noise-rockers, a Jorma Kaukonen-style acoustic ballad with one of frontwoman Sarah Mucho’s most intense lyrics. Unreleased.


 

32. LJ Murphy - This Is Nothing Like Bliss

The NYC noir rock legend goes deep into vintage soul/R&B territory for this one. Unreleased.


 

33. Juliana Nash – Love Song for New York

“It’s 3 AM and I’m drunk again!” A fond evocation of a time before the trust fund set discovered New York. Unknown if this was ever released or not.


 

34. Carol Lipnik & Spookarama- Cuckoo Bird

Typical phantasmagorical noir cabaret from the 4-octave siren.


 

35. Megitza Quartet - Ethnic Cleansing

36. Curtis Eller’s American Circus – John Wilkes Booth

A more sardonic, tongue-in-cheek version of #26.


 

37. Curtis Eller’s American Circus – Sweatshop Fire

38. Steve Wynn – 405

An old Dream Syndicate song (a LA freeway reference) resurrected on Wynn’s sensational new live cd.


 

39. Steve Kilbey – Forever Lasts for Nothing

Sort of an update – melodically at least – on the Church classic Bel Air, with a more timely lyric.

Absolutely haunting southwestern gothic dirge from the James Jackson Toth catalog, resurrected by the NYC noir siren.


 

41. Kerry Kennedy - Dive

A more ornate, orchestral composition but still amazingly intense.


 

44. Ten Pound Heads – All Hands on Deck

Dark brooding art-rock anthem from the Brooklyn band’s superb debut album.


 

45. Mostly Other People Do the KillingAllentown

We won’t spoil the joke other than to describe this as a Billy Joel cover by the world’s funniest free jazz band.


 

46. And the Wiremen – Sleep

Southwestern gothic in the tradition of Friends of Dean Martinez or Giant Sand, by this excellent, atmospheric Brooklyn crew.


 

47. Edison Woods – Dear Heaven

Typically wrenching, poignant lyrics and understated, amospheric beauty from frontwoman Julia Frodahl


 

48. Bobby Vacant & the Weary - Some Walk

Sardonic Bukowskiesque ballad: “Don’t look to tomorrow, just get through the day.”


 

49. Ian Hunter - Man Overboard

Big anguished 6/8 anthem, title track from Hunter’s superb new cd.


 

50. Blue Rabbit - Stupid Flag

Bouncy, smart art-rock from the Bay Area cello rockers’ latest cd.


 

51. The Whiskey Daredevils - Stories About Texas

Spot-on, hilarious portrait of a guy who’s not exactly what he says he is, by the killer Cleveland roots rockers.


 

52. Jang Sa-ik - This Is Not It

The art-rock crooner is a superstar in South Korea, not yet known here outside the Korean community: this big carpe diem anthem could help change that.


 

53. Mark Steiner - Cigarettes

One of the great noir rocker’s signature songs, a towering, 6/8 tremolo-guitar anthem released on his Fallen Birds cd in 2007, he absolutely slayed at Cake Shop with this during a recent NYC gig.


 

54. Warsaw Villlage Band - Over the Forest

Haunting Polish gypsy instrumental. From their latest cd on Barbes Records.


 

55. Livia Hoffman - Infinite Jest

Big rocking anthem with a characteristically anguished lyric from the underground chanteuse.


 

56. The New Collisions - Caged Us Kids

A blast of furious fun by the Boston new wave revivalists. On their killer new ep.


 

57. Abby Travis – Now Was

The highly sought-after bassist is also a first-rate noir cabaret songwriter, and this is one of her best. She killed with this at the Delancey last winter.


 

58. Warsaw Village Band – Circle No. 1

More dark gypsy instrumental stuff.


 

59. The Snow - Undertow

Clever, sardonic art-rock from Melomane frontman Pierre de Gaillande’s latest project.


 

60. Ingrid Olava – It’s All Right, Ma, I’m Only Bleeding

Absolutely riveting, perfect cover of the Dylan classic. Unreleased – this was the high point of her show at the Delancey in NYC last winter.


 

61. Lenny Molotov - Brother Can You Spare a Dime

“I used to work at Goldman Sachs and drank the finest wine/Now I’m broke and smoking crack, brother can you…”


 

62. Kelli Rae Powell – Some Bridges Are Good to Burn

Centerpiece to the oldtimey siren’s stupendously good, frequently bitter new cd New Words for Old Lullabies


 

63. Balthrop, Alabama - Bride of Frankenstein

Self-explanatory track from the Brooklyn rock behemoths’ viscerally menacing new ep.


 

64. Balthrop, Alabama - Prom Story

60s teen pulp redone with savage black humor. Also on the new ep.


 

65. Balthrop, Alabama – Red Hook Pool

This is the most New York-centric of the songs and has characteristically bite.


 

66. The Church – Anchorage

Savage, magnificent Steve Kilbey anthem – whether this is a mea culpa or a distribe about someone else, it packs a wallop.


 

67. Chris Eminizer – Ashes to the Sun

Spot-on, artsy post-9/11 anthem from the New York-based songwriter.


 

68. Fishtank Ensemble – Spirit Prison

Careening, rocking gypsy stuff by the crazy Bay Area crew.


 

69. Fishtank Ensemble - Samurai Over Serbia

This blends the band’s gypsy feel with Asian influences.


 

70. Alpha Blondy – Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd cover, maybe better than the iconic original, by the African reggae legend. High point of his show at Central Park Summerstage this past summer.


 

71. The Motion Sick - God Hates Kansas

Briskly incisive, insightful rocker from this excellent, lyrical Boston band.


 

72. Ward White – Getting Along Is Easy

Sardonic, bitter and wickedly lyrical stuff from the great underground NYC songwriter (and half of McGinty and White)


 

 73. Dan Bryk - Apologia

The Canadian-American rocker offers this hilariously tongue-in-cheek mea culpa from an imaginary record executive. From Bryk’s excellent new cd Pop Psychology.


 

74. The New Collisions – The Beautiful and Numb

Lush sweeping new wave-inflected apocalypse anthem, a perfect soundtrack piece for NYC’s Lower East Side. Figures it would take a Boston band to write it.


 

75. Dan Bryk – Street Team

Graham Parker’s Mercury Poisoning updated for the end of the zeros with much more deliciously funny detail. Also from the new cd Pop Psychology.


 

76. Amy Allison – Mardi Gras Moon

A typically witty, sardonic number, this one about drinking and popping pills: “I hear the distant music of the band/I’m losing all the feeling in my hands.”


 

77. The Asylum Street Spankers - Stick Magnetic Ribbons on Your SUV

The smartly political oldtimey band’s big late-Bush-era hit.


 

78. Paul Wallfisch - Swimming in the Ocean at Night

Botanica cover, especially menacing, by the band’s frontman solo at his weekly Small Beast show at the Delancey last winter.


 

79. Kelli Rae Powell - Don’t Slow Down, Zachary

A road trip to hell – or away from hell? Wrenchingly poignant.


 

80. The American String Quartet - Robert Sirota: Tryptich

A haunting and evocative 9/11 composition.


 

81. Matthew Grimm & the Red Smear - The Ghost of Rock n Roll

No matter how much the corporations try to grind us down, somehow we keep going. The great Iowa rocker explains how with typical gusto and amusement.


 

82. The Ulrich/Ziegler Duo - Since Cincinnati

Written by Big Lazy frontman Steve Ulrich, this is a cinematic blue-sky theme featuring all kinds of gorgeous guitar. Unreleased.


 

83. Tom Warnick & World’s Fair – Keep Moving

The carnivalesque, charismatic rocker’s theme of sorts, it’s got a hypnotic, eerie Doorsy vibe underneath all the optimism.


 

84. The Asylum Street Spankers - My Favorite Records

A hilarious theme for vinyl lovers (and fans of contrapuntal vocals) everywhere.


 

85. The Oxygen Ponies – The War Is Over

Fiery, murderous Bush-era broadside from the excellent art-rockers’ new cd Harmony Handgrenade.


 

86. Jeff Zentner - Burning Season

Brilliantly metaphorical Nashville gothic.


 

87. The French Exit - To Term

You can never be sure with this inscrutable NYC noir crew – the lyric might refer to a pregnancy, but maybe not.


 

88. The Motion Sick – Grace Kelly

Viciously metaphorical sendup of a drama queen by the Boston rockers.


 

89. The Oxygen Ponies - Finger Trigger

More late Bush-era fury from Harmony Handgrenade.


 

90. The Oxygen Ponies – Villains

This one doesn’t name names, but it doesn’t need to. Raw power.


 

91. Matthew Grimm & the Red Smear – Ayn Rand Sucks

This song needed to be wrtten and it’s a good thing this guy did it. And it’s hysterically funny. From his new, career-best cd The Ghost of Rock N Roll.


 

92. The Church - Deadman’s Hand

Murky, sweeping, angry Iraq war parable from the Australian art-rock legends’ latest Untitled #23.


 

93. McGinty and White – Rewrite

One of Ward White’s greatest lyrics – and he has dozens – this breaks every wall, fourth wall, convention, whatever you can think of. Surreal and also very funny in a mean way. From the duo’s brilliant new debut cd.


 

94. Dan Bryk – Treat of the Week

Savage blast of fury against record label blandness and corporate culture. Also from Pop Psychology.


 

95. Paul Wallfisch - Town Called Fate

Waits-ish noir version of a Stan Ridgway song; the Botanica frontman slayed with this at one of his Small Beast shows at the Delancey in NYC this past spring.


 

96. Matthew Grimm & the Red Smear - White

Can the great Americana rocker do hip-hop too? You bet. As funny as anything else he’s ever done.


 

97. Alice Texas - Oh, My Beautiful

NYC noir rock doesn’t get any more sweeping or beautiful than this towering anthem. Unreleased.


 

98. The Dred Scott Trio – Bobo

Dark, carnivalesque, noir jazz by the great NYC-based pianist and composer. With a string section, he did a transcendent version of this one at Smalls Jazz Club last summer.


 

99. Liza & the WonderWheels – Cold Wind

Uncharacteristically chilly anthem by the usually psychedelic, catchy new wave rockers. Unreleased – the acoustic version they did at the Parkside Lounge this fall was amazing.


 

100. Post No Bills - GDDUMOA

One of the funnest things about youtube and myspace is the amateur stuff you find there. We stumbled across this hilarious acoustic song while looking for another band with the same name. The title is an acronym for God Damn Donut Under Mike Owens’s Ass. Apparently poor Mike Owens, whoever he is, needed an operation, and the recovery process included sitting on a glorified inner tube. “I’m the only cure for the hemorrhoid you got from a strap-on,” sings the inflatable ring in a lazy southern drawl. Until Mike Owens finds out about this and fires off an irate message to myspace to take the song down, here it is.

 

And just for fun (and to give some added perspective to this list), here are the #1 songs of the year for 2008 from this site and our predecessor e-zine going all the way back to its inception in 2000:


2008: Steve Wynn – I Don’t Deserve This

2007: Amy Allison - Turn Out the Lights

2006: System Noise – Daydreaming

2005: LJ Murphy – Pretty for the Parlor


2004: Botanica – Good


2003: The Wirebirds – This Green Hell


2002: Bob Dylan – Mississippi

2001: Mary Lee’s Corvette – Idiot Wind

2000: Ninth House - Put a Stake Right Through It

    THAT’S THE POINT!!! This is all about discovering new stuff that the corporate media or the conformist blogs would find way too edgy or frightening!

  • grrrr!!! // May 24, 2009 at 12:47 pm | Reply

    u guys suck so much!!!just coz u make a shitty list from which about 10 artists appear about 5 times each, duzn mean ur edgy an non conformist, ever think ders just as many “non conformists” as conformists!?LOSERS HA HA U HAV A NICE LIFE NOW!!!!

  • lc // May 24, 2009 at 9:59 pm | Reply

    if you knew how to read you’d be aware, as is clearly stated in plain english here, that A) this list is far from complete, this being only May and B) many of the songs, though good, are placeholders which will eventually fall off the list by year’s end when we finalize it. and what’s wrong with having multiple songs by a bunch of good bands? never ceases to amaze how seriously some people take themselves….

    I didn’t know any of these songs either,
    but I listened to some of them,
    and they’re pretty good!

    And maybe they put the same artists because the artist makes more then one good song.
    I’m sure you people like more than one song from your favorite artist, correct?

    Anyway, I found this helpful, Thanks. (:

  • me // June 17, 2009 at 10:24 am | Reply

    im sure that these are all really good songs, but i think that its wrong to call any of them the top songs of 2009, whether they make ur final list or not. u wouldnt get so many bad comments if it wasnt such false advertising.

  • lc // June 17, 2009 at 10:40 am | Reply

    huh? false advertising? what’s your standard for “true advertising?” any list you see anywhere is just gonna be someone’s opinion, you can agree or disagree

    that is the worst list! taylor swift is the best! you guys have no taste in music…hahahaha losers!!!

  • lc // July 5, 2009 at 1:33 pm | Reply

    here’s a suggestion, Jess – rather than being closeminded about unfamiliar things, why don’t you try something new? Suggestion – if you like Taylor Swift, why not check out Tift Merritt or Neko Case? They both have great voices and catchy songs. And they’re way smarter.

  • yo // July 17, 2009 at 8:45 am | Reply

    A rule for a list as short as 100 should be that a band can only have one or two songs on the list. You only list like eight bands for 100 songs, that’s kind of ridiculous.

  • lc // July 18, 2009 at 10:47 am | Reply

    dude, did you read the top of the page? the list is anything but final and won’t be til December. Check back and see how vastly more diverse it will be at that time

  • Kaylee // July 19, 2009 at 2:20 pm | Reply

    I agree with the people above it is WRONG to FALSE advertize!
    And… are these songs from the 50’s or something cuz i have never heard ANY of them.
    try telling the TRUTH and stop lying.
    I was looking for the best song to put on my friends ipod not songs that nobody even know!
    THANK YOU so MUCH for wasting my time.
    p.s. try reading the Bible!(it says not to LIE!)
    Its great! (:
    (the smiley face is for the bible)
    :( (((((( <- that is for you.

    Jeremiah 29:11 – For i know the plans i have for you; declares the lord, plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.

  • lc // July 20, 2009 at 7:03 am | Reply

    ?!? advertising? this isn’t an ad, sister,
    What’s stopping you from downloading any of this? Or were you looking for Taylor Swift? Maybe you might think about having an open mind – oops, the bible says that’s wrong, can’t do that!

    By the way what’s wrong with songs from the 50’s? Pretty good decade for music if you ask me! Why don’t you check out some of Jimmy Martin’s country gospel records from that decade, if you’re into the bible thing?

    • JAD // October 1, 2009 at 4:28 pm | Reply

      The Bible doesn’t say anything about not being allowed to have an open mind. It says to love everyone…that seems pretty open minded to me.

      On another note, I really like that you have gone out in search of “non-celebrity” music. I love finding bands that nobody has heard of. Sometimes the best music is hiding until you find a website like this.

      And to everyone else, if you don’t like what “lc” is doing, just kindly close the tab on your browser, and open up your iTunes and listen to your own music. Chill out!! Some people like the “not so well known” music. More power to them.

  • Norie-Chan // July 25, 2009 at 4:48 pm | Reply

    You know Ic this is excatly what I was looking for. Music that no one else knows of! I can tell you this sure Taylor Swift is okay but I honestly only like ONE of her songs and i can say the rest is horrible xD but u like her good for you.
    And Kaylee…JESUS! Who said to use the bible on the internet as a means of “lying.” I mean it’s just one’s opinion and I think the music is pretty cool! n.n
    can’t wait till the list is final Ic!!

    haha its amazing, I dont know any of this songs…but I listened to some of them and I actually liked them

    i think alot of people on this were very mean.. you to lc..
    but i still appreaciate the time it took to make this list, and i will deff be listening to these songs!

    if lc was the one who posted this, forgive me if he/she wasn’t, then lc needs to stop running his/her mouth because they were the ones who wanted people to read this. i understand if he/she were mad because other people like different styles of music, and if Taylor Swift is what they came here for, lc doesn’t need to put down those singers. For example, the comment, ‘Not enough Fall Out Girl?’ is simply not being OPEN to OTHER types of music. that was what lc wanted all along right? for people to come to his/her post and find different sorts of styles. and again, if lc didn’t post this im sorry, it just appeared like he/she did.

  • Dub // September 16, 2009 at 1:40 am | Reply

    Hey. I was just cruising the internet for some good songs and I stumbled on your site. I can’t wait to see what the final list looks like in December.

    Didn’t know a damn one of those bands or songs either. But listened to them and some of them are pretty great! Jay Bennet was my favorite from the list.

    You think you can escape the bible beaters on the internet. But they still manage to follow you.

    You also manage to meets some crazy SOB’s all the time to. It baffles the mind why some people even bother to leave shitty comments that don’t have anything to do with the main topic. And some people complain about being in a rush.

    Get over yourself. This list is full of artists that deserve Taylor Swifts level of fame much more then she does. If you don’t like it don’t post. Try something new. ;)

    I have never heard of any of these tracks nor have they been on the charts (or long enough). Maybe they’re the best for you.
