2009 Best Albums
Here we are. With 2010 closing up, a music blogger would traditionnally publish
his top 10. This is tough job. I’ve gone through countless records this year but few have remained for long on my ipod. In fact, I cannot really make a top 10 while knowing since January 2009 that nobody would make a better album than Delhi-6 other than A.R. Rahman himself. Let’s say, Blue just didn’t reach that level.
So yes, the winner is *drumroll* A.R. Rahman for Delhi-6 ! These are the songs I’ve listened to and sung the most. In fact, Rehna Tu is the best song of the year, in my opinion.
Remember, this represents solely my musical taste. I’ve been trying since the later half of this year to single out my monthly best. These albums, plus my listening stats at lastfm, have been useful in drafting this top of 2009.
You’re most welcome to refute my choice. If there’s something I’ve missed, please add it in the comments. Obviously, each person is listening to something else on his ipod. We are all in our own micro-genres. I love this diversity, but I’d also like this diversity to be shared. Never be ashamed of your musical taste.

2009 Top Albums So Far
July is coming to an end. Time for a short recap of the music albums that, in my opinion, left a good impression in 2009 so far. For this list, i’m taking a look at my last.fm charts, my iTunes library and at the albums I’ve bookmarked on Spotify.
I tried hard to find a way to classify the records: according to genres, geographically.. but i’ll simply hand it out alphabetically. Music has gone truly global now. Just bear in mind that I’m a guy from the island of Mauritius, currently in France, fan of everything that blends with Indian music, and who’s recently developed a certain liking for post-rock instrumentals ever since he discovered Sigur Rós. That’s a pretty good description of my musical world right now.

I’m curious to see how this list will look like at the end of the year. Making a top 10 will be hectic!
So what did I miss?
musique, les outils actuels du consommateurs
Ce qui suit vient d’un travail à la fac que je devais soumettre il y a 2 mois environ. Dans le cadre de mon initiation aux technologies web, j’ai monté http://adarsh.free.fr qui devais inclure une partie hobby. Cette page, dédiée la musique, je la transferre (avec qql modifs) ici avant la fermeture du site.
“
Je suis un passionné. Parlez-moi de musique; je suis constamment à la découverte de nouveaux groupes. Et le net est vraiment l’outil parfait. Depuis que je connais Last.fm, je suis un obsédé du scrobbling. Le monde doit savoir ce que je viens d’écouter. Cela pourrait surprendre mais si un nouveau service n’est pas connecté à Last.fm, j’ai tendance à ne pas y rester longtemps.
Recemment, j’ai commencer la série #1S1D (1 Song 1 Day) sur mon tumblr. J’y parle de LA chanson qui m’a inspirée un jour donné. Le tumbltape de droite en est le résultat.
Bref, voici mes outils préférés du moment:
lecteurs offline : iTunes, Songbird
J’ai commencé à organiser mes mp3 avec jetAudio. Puis j’ai migré vers iTunes. Pour l’instant je roule avec iTunes et Songbird, ce dernier étant surtout utile pour lire les mp3 dans les pages web.
lecteurs online : Spotify, Deezer, Jiwa
Spotify est le nouveau chouchou du web. Je l’adore pour son interface et son contenu beaucoup plus vaste. Et c’est le seul des 3 qui permet le scrobbling.
recherche rapide : Songza, SkreemR, Grooveshark
La plupart des gens cherchent sur Youtube. Je préfère l’organisation des titres sur Songza. Grooveshark, lui me surprendra toujours par les variété des titres qu’il contient.
découvertes : la blogosphère, The Hype Machine, Last.fm, the sixtyone + MES AMIS
HypeM vous donne une idée des chansons populaires du moment, même s’il y a une tendance récurrente vers l’indie et les remixes. Leur nouvel objectif de tracker les titres mentionnées sur twitter parraît prometteur.
Ce mois-ci je tente de voir si last.fm vaut ses 3€ mensuelles pour l’accès à ses titres et ses nouvelles radios multi-artistes et multi-tags.
Thesixtyone est un bon endroit pour découvrir les nouveaux talents et le site est assez addictif avec ses objectifs à atteindre.
à la télé : taratata sur France 2 et France 4, One Shot Not sur ARTE
Voilà les outils du moment. Ce sont des choix qui changent tout le temps. Vais-je résister à Wormee d’Orange? Vais-je payer pour Spotify Premium?
En attendant, retrouvez-moi sur twitter. L’expérience #1S1D devrait continuer.
Et ne manquez pas les news du maestro A.R. Rahman sur Friendfeed.
OSTs
In the same line as my last post, here comes la crême de la crême of movie soundtracks according to me, a person highly inspired by indian music discovering new melodies almost every single day (that’s how i define myself). Even today i came across the OST of The Darjeeling Limited. It won’t join today’s selection though; the bollywood songs are taken mostly from the ‘70s and ‘80s, a period I can’t stand. In fact, I find a lot of french people wanting to discover Bollywood turning to movies from that period and songs like Dum Maro Dum. PLEASE, don’t do that! This isn’t the right introduction to Bollywood.
So here come the OSTs. Keep in mind that i’m considering the albums as a whole. Obviously, i’ll start with A.R. Rahman.
 Dil Se.. My all-time favourite. An evergreen album. |  Taal The album that gave Rahman international recognition. |  Lagaan Nominated for Oscars. Loved for its songs and background score. |
 Saathiya (and Alaipayuthey, it’s Tamil version) |  Water Mycheal Danna & Rahman both excelled. |  Rang De Basanti I even ripped off the score from the DVD. |
Other Indian movies include:
- The Bhansali masterpieces. The transition from Ismail Darbar to Monty Sharma for background scores is a wise move by the ace director.
 Devdas I found ‘Devdas with Selected Dialogues’ in France. Awesome. |  Black THE movie that made me cry. |  Saawariya The movie might not have worked but music is excellent. |
- Select pieces from the top music directors in Mumbai.
 |  Omkara Vishal Bhardwaj |  Lakshya Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy |
-
Away from Bollywood but with still a foot in India, we have scores by Nitin Sawhney, the most famous being The Namesake. I’ve yet to get hold of A Throw of Dice.
Among French movies, i’ve been largely inspired by these three:
 Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain Yann Tiersen |  Les Poupées Russes Kraked Unit, etc. (Klapisch OSTs in general.) |  Ne Le Dis A Personne Mathieu Chedid / -M- |
I finally reach Hollywood. OSTs that stand out are:
 Babel Gustavo Santaolalla |  Kingdom of Heaven Harry Gregson-Williams |  Batman Begins Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard |
Let’s not forget this year’s Academy Award winner for best music: ONCE by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová…
…and a special mention to Daniel Licht’s work on Showtime Series Dexter.
Music matters are now closed from the year 2007-2008 on this blog. Keep in touch with my loved tracks on Last.FM or on my friendfeed.
Mauritius, here i come. Some traditional sega will do me some good.
