My musical year of 2009 is slowly beginning to take shape and so far, I quite like it. I'll be going to that before-mentioned Mercenary gig next saturday and it seems that every day a new release date for some exciting new album has been revealed. I simply can't wait for Regina Spektor's newest effort, 'Far', coming out in June. Though I'll probably know a large number of the tracks on it already thanks to the world of bootlegging, Regina's got a special place in my heart. She has an incredible voice and an unmatched charm when it comes to her music, her lyrics and her appearence. With all the other piano-playing girls (Kate Nash, Sara Barailles, etc.) who aren't even half as good as Regina, I feel like a sticker saying 'the original and best' should be put on the cover of her upcoming album. Also, I can't wait to see her live again, especially if she finally decides to drop by here in Denmark.
Secondly, as everything's turned out, I'll be going to London twice this year. More precisely for a week in July and for three days in May. I'm going with my best friend in July and we're both London lovers, so I can't wait to see what's it's like experiencing our favourite place on earth together. And, you know, there's that gig with a little band called Blur, in a little park called Hyde Park, which is going to be interesting. But - the new thing - is those three days in May. I'm addicted to London, so I like to see it as a little preview before the actual trip in July, where I can just inhale and get a little teaser before the real fix. In general it'll just be nice to see a London again since I miss it an awful lot, but what excites me the most is the concert I'll be attending on the second of the three days, which is Final Fantasy at the Union Chapel. It's no secret that Owen Pallet's different projects, and especially FF, have been quite an obsession of mine over the last few months. The thought of witnessing the violin looping magic in what seems to be a mind-blowing venue and possibly getting the chance to hear some new songs makes me want to jump up and down with excitement.

But back to spring/summer music. I try to avoid being fed by other music blogs and websites, so at the moment I'm just trying to search for random things on MySpace and YouTube, while listening to Grizzly Bear. I'm in the process of getting to know their stuff and so far I like it. They're releasing a new album this year as well, so I'll soon have something new to listen to in that area. If I haven't got tired of Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavillion album by then, I'm also looking forward to being outside on a hot summer day while listening to 'Brother Sport', 'Bluish' and of course 'Summertime Clothes'. In the last few weeks, whenever the sun hasn't been completely hidden behind clouds, I've felt like listening to that album. Since everyone loves it, I'd probably love to say I didn't, but really, it's very good. I just need more music! and I'll go search for more, and probably recommend something here, when/if I find something decent.
