DELTRON 3030′S TOP 10 OF 2009

Filter just released their top ten album list for 2009 and this is what it looks like

1. Animal Collective, Merriweather Post Pavilion (Domino)

2. Phoenix, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (Glassnote)

3. Grizzly Bear, Veckatimest (Warp)

4. Miike Snow, Miike Snow (Downtown)

5. Yeah Yeah Yeahs, It’s Blitz! (Interscope)

6. Elvis Perkins in Dearland, Elvis Perkins in Dearland (XL)

7. Cass McCombs, Catacombs (Domino)

8. Passion Pit, Manners (Frenchkiss)

9. The Antlers, Hospice (Frenchkiss)

10. White Rabbits, It’s Frightening (TBD)

While I agree with many of their selections I can’t get past two errors:

1) Not slotting The Antlers at number one.  (OK it is official -They should go ahead and process that restraining order now.

2) Leaving off the XX..  The XX’s debut record is an amazing album that deserves a top ten slotting.

I don’t want to define this as a travesty against humanity because we should save that word for the abomination that is MTV’s Jersey Shore.  Instead let us simply call this an oversight.  Allow me to correct these mistakes now with my rushed top ten.

Del’s top ten of 2009
