2009 ALBUM SELECTION

As others, even I stopped for a while to think about what great has happened in music in 2009. I think it's a bit weaker than it was in 2008, but still good enough :) I have chosen the 20 best albums (in alphabet order) and after that another 40 really good albums of the year worth having in the colection :) Everybody has a different taste, so I bet there would be noone in the world with the same selection :) If you find anyone, let me know, i would like to become friends with them.

WE ALL HAVE HOOKS FOR HANDS – The Shape of Energy [2009]

I quite like this indie pop band...They are nothing special, but these days i don't find enough really good stuff and this is at least good ;) They come from Sioux Falls in South Dakota. Check their Myspace.

PORN by Robbie Cooper

In a film of startling power and unsettling intimacy video artist and photographer Robbie Cooper shoots back at active porn aficionados lost in ecstatic release and hears how their passion developed. Be aware that this is not easy titillation and some of you may find the footage shocking. But the film does throw up any number of questions about voyeurism and exhibitionism and makes clear the incredible nakedness of the solo sex act.

OLAF BREUNING

Well, i think i like this guy..He comes from Switzerland, but (of course) he lives in New York.


He has got soooo much stuff at his website.. Check it out!



He does photos, instalations, drawings, videos, sculptures..and all of it is great!

There is just a tiny portion of his work (i can't choose the best ones, they r all good) >>
