GAPDY poll

"Heads Will Roll" and "Zero" are by far the best thing to come out of 2009 GAPDY, though as a whole album I do think that Bitte Orca has held up the best.

The albums I listen to with the most regularity from this era are Person Pitch and Tomboy

“Can someone please make a video essay on whatever the hell was going on here”

The Twitter user @jackanfer, who is presumably under the age of 30, posed this question atop a list of seven critically acclaimed albums from 2009. The first five – Dirty Projectors’ Bitte Orca, Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion, Phoenix’s Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ It’s Blitz!, and Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest – were such common fixtures in year-end top-tens that they inspired an acronym of “GADPY” as a deeply online shorthand for indie rock hegemony. This post soon became the main character on Twitter for the next few days because people chose not to take the original question as rhetorical.

Ian Cohen should have given ILX a shout out or even just Whiney.

I now see mookieproof did post this already, I found out by the article that posted today, sorry.
