In a follow up to Friday’s blog posting of new tunes, I’d like to provide a few links and a couple thoughts on some of my favourite bands. First of all, the line-up for Bonnaroo has been posted, and is outstanding once again. This past month saw amazing releases from The Dead Weather, The Black Keys and LCD Soundsystem among others (see Hold Steady, New Pornographers) which would make going to Bonnaroo for the first time – to me – heaven. Throw in Blitzen Trapper, She & Him and The xx and then sprinkle some hilarity on top with Conan O’Brien and Aziz Ansari and you’ve pretty much achieved perfection. Now, if you’re not convinced, check out the absolutely amazing (HD) performances featured at From The Basement, a favourite site of mine dedicated to the the performances of a talented group of musicians. If you’re still not sold, then watch this video. If that doesn’t work, nothing will.

This Week in Music
Well, this week in music for me anyway. It’s been a pretty good spring, CD-release wise. Unfortunately, if you still buy authentic copies of albums like myself, it’s not so good on the pocketbook. Either way, here’s a couple favourites from this weeks purchases.
Best of 2009
Alright, I may not have time to compile a list of my favourite music, design, movies or pretty much anything, I will make one last plea to Santa Clause for my favourite posters of the year (thank you Aesthetic Apparatus).
