Three days into a new working year, and I've put together the first office playlist of 2009. Usual rules apply, in that what we play isn't necessarily what we like - though that said, I can't spot any total stinkers among this 16. What a pleasure, anyway, to discover a band exists called Weird Owl. 1 Neil Young – Comes A Time (Reprise) 2 La Dusseldorf – Individuellos (Water) 3 Bon Iver – Blood Bank (Jagjaguwar) 4 13th Floor Elevators - Sign Of The 3 Eyed Men (International Artists) 5 Vetiver – Tight Knit (Bella Union) 6 DM Stith – Heavy Ghost (Asthmatic Kitty) 7 Wavves – Wavves (De Stijl) 8 Fire On Fire – The Orchard (Young God) 9 Sun Araw – Beach Head (Not Not Fun) 10 Bill Callahan – Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle (Drag City) 11 Alela Diane – To Be Still (Names) 12 Adam Payne – Organ (Holy Mountain) 13 Weird Owl – Ever The Silver Cord Be Loosed (Tee Pee) 14 The Golden Dawn – Power Plant (International Artists) 15 Arbouretum – Song Of The Pearl (Thrill Jockey) 16 Various Artists – Dark Was The Night: A Red Hot Compilation (4AD)
