Five Good Albums Released in 2009

I’m stealing Steph’s idea and posting my list in the form of haikus.  Enjoy!

Constantines – Too Slow For Love EP (Arts & Crafts)

Oh, the young lions.
I didn’t like them very much
until I heard this.

Dog Day – Concentration (Black Mountain Music)

Best Halifax band.
Can’t believe they’re not huge.
The world is unjust.

Pissed Jeans – King of Jeans (Sub Pop)

Snarly songs about
getting old, and fat, and tired.
“No, I don’t bother.”

Superchunk – Leaves In the Gutter EP (Merge)

Comebacks aren’t always
a sure thing, but this one works.
I miss the 90s.

The Thermals – Now We Can See (Kill Rock Stars)

The same song over
and over and over, but
it’s such a good song.
