A New Year is here. The D Man hopes that his loyal cadre of readers had a fine holiday season--and that you also had a chance to hear some good tunes. Need a place to start? The D Man's Top Twenty list (below) offers plenty of excellent listening opportunities.
The final track on Animal Collective's fantastic 2009 album, Merriweather Post Pavillion, is the colorful kaleidoscope stomp "Brother Sport." Written by Noah Lennox to cheer up his brother Matt after their father's death, the song calls for him to "open up your throat" to let all of the inner pain go. A serious subject for an absolutely joyous and harmonic piece of tribal electronica, the video depicts the celebratory abandonment of youth in a trippy, trailerpark, Animal Collective sort of way. This music will lift the January inversion, both inside and out.
