Ok enough already, stop looking for the best album of 2009. I'm really not trying to be negative, but there is plenty of time to decide what the best album is at THE END OF THE YEAR when you can make a fair assessment. Its this constant early judging and evaluation and "who said it first" mentality that is making independent music unnecessarily competitive, stripping away the value of the music for only how it compares to everything else. Music shouldn't be a competition about who's the best, please stop making it into it.

Ahh, this reminds me of the golden days of "Emo" Death Cab, before Emo was bastardized by the millennials.
Great vid.

"8:10 Justin Timberlake and Al Green doing "Since We Been Together" featuring Keith Urban's surprisingly tasty licks. The Reverend still has flow. No jokes there."
Um its "Lets Stay Together". Stereogum stop humiliating yourselves and stick what you're used to; faux indie band reviews and updates.

Why did you post this Stereogum? Why should I care about a random remix that's not even good? Why am I so mad that everytime I go on your site now it seems your posts are more are more irrelevant. So many questions....

Can you believe this Stereogum; you're blogs rep is going down the shitter.
This is a perfect example why we should all go back to reading tangible and legit music journals/magazines, and not follow music blogs that report on superfluous rumors and gossipy headlines, and then report on their misfindings unapologetic.
suck it Stereogum.

At least you semi realized your hypocrisy before writing this post. What's more sad is its blogs like this, with your "bands to watch" and "early evaluations" that's half the reason there weren't any real standout this year, allow me to explain...
I like reading this blog alot, but you've already admitted that most of these bands garner attention now through hype and not through actual musical talent. And there is no greater hype or buzz machine than music blogs who tell us what we should be listening to, mentioning bands before anyone else so you can be the first blog to do so, and discussing the superfluous detail of any new indie band that percolates through your filter. Blogs and the Internet breed competition, and in doing so bands are no longer listened to for musical quality, they are consumed like product and spit out viciously in order to mention as many new bands as possible. This post is another prime example of this. So in essence by you making this blog post is only perpetuating and allowing bands that you say are "passing-for-buzzed-up-indie-rock" to thrive. Is the Internet killing indie rock? I hope not.
Sorry to rain on the CMJ parade but I am just really frustrated after seeing many bands at CMJ I wasn't impressed by any of them. I just want to hear good music again like the rest of you.
