It hasn't been the most active year for AiMT, but I've tried my best to keep my ear to the ground, so I'll hereby commence AiMT 2009 with this list. While I'm tempted to guarantee more 2009 lists to come—specifically albums, singles and remixes—like last year, I'll just say, "I'm working on them." You see, these lists tend to be daunting for me, so only the good Lord knows whether or not I'll actually get them all finished. It could be that I get overwhelmed after finishing only one (see 2007) or that I manage to crank them all out after a few long nights (see 2008). Only time will tell.
This particular list may merit some explanation. Last year I made a singles list, and I plan to do the same this year. (I don't like settling on all-encompassing songs lists because I'm old-fashioned.) The problem is there were so many songs this year that felt like singles but technically weren't released commercially as such. Cue this list. And since these tracks aren't singles and therefore lack cover art, I made some dreadful, tacky fake covers. Why? I dunno—to meme up this feature or something. Click them to enlarge. Collect 'em all!
This list isn't as thorough as the other '09 lists will be. I'm sure I overlooked plenty of tracks that merited entries here, but this list is really more about songs that felt like singles or songs that I mistook for singles.
And lastly I'll give my disclaimer that AiMT 2009 (as well as subsequent years) is not comprehensive genre-wise. The entries on these lists are on topic for AiMT, so they're basically limited to dance-pop, dance music, hip-hop, etc. That's why list darlings like Animal Collective and the like are getting skipped. Maybe if I have time I'll make an off-topic list, but again, there are no guarantees in this cruel world. Enjoy!

"Doki" is perhaps the champion track of the regretfully coined "chillwave" movement. Friend is London-based producer Jesse Kanda, and unfortunately his Shima EP never dropped. Not much else to report about this steel drum-laden chiller other than it has a sweet minimalist video made from Wong Kar-wai film footage. Hopefully we'll hear more out of Friend in 2010.

Gucci Mane - "Lemonade" [So Icey/Asylum/Warner Bros.]
DOWNLOAD! NSFW / WATCH THE VIDEO!
Gucci earned a cult following through the mixtape circuit in years past and has been a major player in the ATL music community since '05, but '09 was truly Gucci's year. He broke into the mainstream in a big way, and his number of featured spots probably tallies up there with Weezy and Drake. For many people, it was too easy to hate Gucci in '09. Just when the ATL-based crack rap waters started to subside, 'long comes this newly hyped poster boy with more tired tales of drug trafficking, an exaggerated Southern drawl, lots of big jewelry and even *gasp* a grill. (Soo '05.) But Gucci's stylistic lagging didn't stop him from putting out some really competent material, like the quirky Bangladesh-produced "Lemonade."

Dâm-Funk - "(My Funk Goes) On & On" [Stones Throw]
DOWNLOAD!
When Dâm-Funk impacted earlier this year, so many questions swirled around music circles, namely, "Where did this guy come from?" While his alien brand of G-funk felt so relevant in '09, it didn't fit comfortably into any of-the-moment blossoming music scenes. Dâm is a movement unto himself. We'll likely hear a billion artists biting this dude's sound in 2010. It just seems inevitable. "On & On" comes from Dâm's Toeachizown 12-inch series (and now double CD).

Big Boi [ft. George Clinton & Too Short] - "Fo Yo Sorrows" [blogs]
DOWNLOAD! NSFW
Inclusions and outtakes from the long-delayed and still forthcoming Big Boi solo album Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty have been leaking for nearly two years now, and the Organized Noize-produced "Fo Yo Sorrows" sits near the top of the pile. George Clinton graces the track with one of '09's most infectious hooks, and Big Boi is in essential Outkast throwback mode. If this song is any indication of how good Chico Dusty will be, it could very well be the much needed period piece antidote that does for Outkast's legacy what OB4CL2 has done for Wu. Chico Dusty should be out in February on Def Jam.

VEGA - "No Reasons" [blogs]
DOWNLOAD!
Alan Palomo of Ghosthustler and Neon Indian fame is also the force behind VEGA. While Neon Indian saw an album release and extensive touring in '09, VEGA only got a short-lived blog buzz back in May and dropped no commercial releases. "No Reasons" was slated to be commercially available on Vogue College Records via VEGA's Well Known Pleasures EP, which sadly never hit shelves. "No Reasons," unlike the hazy lo-fi synthpop sounds of Neon Indian, is slick and glossy. It's topnotch filter house-enriched dance-pop ambrosia, and it's easily in the same league as your favorite Daft Punk track. It demands the attention of any dancefloor whose patrons are even the slightest bit adventurous. Let's hope the EP delays mean Palomo is shopping around with the majors.

Good stuff.
Ellie Goulding’s original:
Ellie Goulding- Starry Eyed
Slightly better dubstep remix:
Ellie Goulding- Starry Eyed (Jakwob Remix)
From Australia:
A Dead Forest Index- Sleep From Eyes (c/o WavesAtNight)
Also from Australia, The Temper Trap:
The Temper Trap- Sweet Disposition
I’m not posting this because the band is from Philly. This is straight up punk rock and it stands on it’s own. I only found out they’re local after the fact. They’re playing West Philly on Nov. 14:
Amazing/Wow- We Don’t Need Anything (c/o PrettyMuchAmazing)
Freelance Whales from NY, @ Johnny Brenda’s Dec. 10. The entire album is great:
Freelance Whales- Hannah (also from PMA)
Here’s Surfer Blood, some new stuff from Florida, coming to the North Star Bar on the 12th of Nov:
Surfer Blood- Fast Jabroni
I guess its true- shoegazing is making a comeback:
Beloved Rogue- Capitol Sense
Classixx:
Stephanie Mills is known more for starring in the movie The Wiz, and the single from 1980 I Never Knew Love Like This Before was a bigger hit, but this lesser known 12″ from 1983 tops that one:
Stephanie Mills- You Can’t Hide
I took some decent pictures of the Thao Nguyen show at the church but I can’t get them off the camera. Oh well.

We recently posted Ellie Goulding’s official debut single, titled, “Under the Sheets,” along with some stand out covers she produced before getting picked up by Neon Gold. The London electronic pop musician shows off her power as an artist (backed by producer Starsmith) with another track off her upcoming/currently in progress debut album.“Starry Eyed” gives better sense of the talent she has than “Under the Sheets.” The track displays the power of her voice, as well as, unique pop hooks and catchy/memorable synths. She has an extremely intriguing voice that reminds us somewhat of Little Boots. But she’s not just any cliché UK electronic pop princess wannabe. Expect great things from her in the near future as more of her music begins to surface (we’re just saying, we love her for a reason)!The track also gets remix attention from Jakwob. The dubstep remix illuminates Goulding’s brilliant voice and adds to the already existent danceable beat.

Who: Ellie GouldingLocation: London, Englandelbo.ws Ranking: #41Thoughts: For a few minutes I'm going to have to forget that Ellie Goulding is absolutely gorgeous and just focus on her music without some sort of infatuated bias. It's gonna be hard. Listening to Goulding's tunes is like finding the perfect blending of a slew of British pop stars. Lily Allen, Kate Nash, even a bit of Micachu all seem to have seeped into her musical style, yet it also sounds fairly fresh if a bit familiar from time to time. That should be thought of as a good thing, her influences come through brightly but somehow Ellie Goulding still manages to shine on her own. Her voice glows throughout the first few songs we've heard from her and after listening to her MySpace page for the past few days I have to say I am genuinely excited to hear more from her. Now I know I'm not usually the biggest pop lover in the world, but these gentle tunes have something to them and yeah she's pretty easy on the eyes as well. Oops, guess I failed at ignoring the beauty for more than a few minutes but I think you guys get the point.Verdict: Buzzworthy!!!Listen: Ellie Goulding - "Under the Sheets"Ellie Goulding - "Starry Eyed"Passion Pit - "Sleepyhead (Starsmith Remix feat.

With Little Boots and La Roux currently ruling the top ten radio positions in the UK it seems like female fronted indie-esque pop might be the next thing. Maybe because ever since Trainspotting’s scene with Diane singing New Order to Renton I have always enjoyed a strong and beautiful female voice. Meet Ellie Goulding. Her name first popped as a female version of Frankmusic who has, coincidentally, also produced a track for her. However, Frankmusic is sugary sweet and colorful like a bag of Skittles and Goulding is darker and more akin to a Reese Pieces. Frankmusik isn’t the only one who is paying attention, apparently Burial is working with her for his new record. Ellie was recently signed by Neon Gold Records, who have also signed a little band called Passion Pit. If “Starry Eyed” doesn’t win you over, we have also included the remix by Jakwob, which is a face melting Dubstep-wobble-bass monster. “Starry Eyed” was also featured on last months Grindin‘ Top 15 chart.

I don’t know really what to say... I’ve been gone a long, long time. Hopefully, I’m back. Because it’s summer. And although my last exam still hovers over my like a storm cloud, it feels like I should be productive in my misery, in my sadness, in my anticipation. So first... would you like £2000 to look after your moat?But, enough.Enough.Have you heard Ellie Goulding yet? Her music is magical. It’s soft, it’s soothing... it’s little bleeps, it’s gentle stop-starts on an empty country road. She’s taking breaths in all the right moments, she’s being paused and played, she’s flying high and low with vocal soars. And she’s collaborating with Frankmusik who’s fantastic. I don’t know if it’s right to share so many songs with you, but.... well, as far as I can tell it’s GOODWEATHERFORAIRSTRIKES (I mean, Neon Gold) who have a handle on her, and they’re the most sharing of people. So, hear it is: Two Covers, Two Originals.(image source: crazy bobbles)Ellie Goulding - Black + Gold (Sam Sparro cover) I hate this Sam Sparro song, when Sam Sparro does it, but it suddenly becomes more listenable, and less headache-inducingly annoying once it gets the female touch. Quite excellent work, I’m sure you’ll agree. Ellie Goulding - The Wolves (Bon Iver cover)This Bon Iver cover is impressive. The original itself isn’t exactly interesting until the “what might have been lost”, and whilst this version isn’t as tear-inducingly sad once we reach that point, it’s still lovingly crafted. And it’s beautiful to hear that a few multi-tracked voices can make a song. Sure, there’s guitar-squeaks, there’s minor chords. But this song, is all about the vocals, the harmonies, the soaring, all the high’s and all lows. Ellie Goulding - Wish I StayedEllie Goulding - Starry EyedFinally, two rather different songs, both lovingly techno-pop. Listen up, and hear the newest sensation. Absolutely brilliant.I thought this would be a nice way to re-introduce myself. She’s by turns sad, danceable, reminiscent, quirky, soothing, stop-start electro-popping. Just like my little mental museum.

Oh shit. Cast your mind back a year or so to when you first heard Lykke Li do her thing. Or Little Boots. Or La Roux. Or Florence and the Machine. Or Marina and the Diamonds. All awesome female indie/electro-pop and all of it (with the exception of Lykke Li) from the UK. Ellie Goulding is the latest and greatest.
Ms. Goulding has got one of those voices that manages to straddle mainstream sensibilities and leftfield - it’s sweet as hell. With knob-twiddling duties from another rising star Star Smith, ‘Starry Eyes’ is a great alt dance-pop production but there’s more.
What really convinced me of her talent was her stunning cover of Bon Iver’s ‘Wolves’. That was the sucker-punch.
Ellie Goulding - Wolves
Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyes
Also, any singer that can turn Sam Sparro’s annoying ‘Black and Gold’ into something great deserves serious recognition.

Summer anthem for your pleasure from lovely London singstress Ellie Goulding, our Grindin friends in Neon Gold are always on point and this gem of a find is no exception. “Starry Eyed” is a driving, jangly electropop track that will follow us around all summer throughout those outdoor festivities and those drunken ramblings down the streets. We think we’re in love…
Look out for the single soonish which comes backed with an absolutely ridiculous dubstep remix from Jakwob.
