I've decided that in order to procrastinate from the HSC, I'm going to make these little lists of music that I've discovered over the course of one month. Also, I'm going to limit it to 5 things, whether it be an album, artist, song etc.

Here we go:

1. Tom Waits
Tom Waits is amazing. Before this month, I really had no interest in his music at all. I didn't like his hoarse, croaky voice, I thought he sounded strange. But for some strange reason, I checked out his music. I take that back, it was not a strange reason that led me to Tom Waits. In actuality, it was finding a reference to the album in the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Gondry, 2004), one of my favourite films ever. The reference was to his album Rain Dogs. This album is now one of my all time favourites. The evocative music, the sharp, funny, descriptive lyrics just drew me in and eventually I got to absolutely love his voice, it just sounds so dark and evil. After checking out that album, I moved onto Small Change, to see his earlier musical style. Different, but still brilliant. Step Right Up is one of my favourite songs ever, although I don't know whether or not to call it spoken word...

2. Actor
This album is close to being my favourite of the year, up there with Bitte Orca and Dark Night Of The Soul et al. This is plain and simple a brilliant album. The vocals are stunning, the piano is haunting. Just a great album to immerse yourself in.

3. Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele
Look at this band name. Just look at it. Need I say more?

4. Song for MJ (Remember The Time)
In lieu of MJ's passing, there was a flood of tributes, covers, remixes all dedicated to the King of Pop. And whilst there were a lot of covers that stood out for me, aided by my greater interest in MJ's music (incl. finding my fave MJ song, Human Nature), this remix just blew me away. If you are a fan of MJ's or even if you barely know his work, listen to this.

5. Kitsuné Maison
This record label is stunning. I discovered them through Phoenix and then found that they are the label of my two favourite songs of 2009 so far, Lisztomania and Something Good Can Work. This month, Through them I found: La Roux,HeartsRevolution and You Love Her Coz She's Dead

The awesome things that didn't make the top 5:
- Nux Vomica by The Veils
- TRV$DJAM
- Garden State (Music From The Motion Picture)
- Daniel Merriweather
- Dyko
- Ambient 1 - Music For Airports by Brian Eno
- White Rabbits


ALBUM OF THE MONTH: Rain Dogs
SONG OF THE MONTH: Percussion Gun
