Best of ‘09: Indie Heart & Electro Beat (Areti)

Kiss 2009 Goodbye: Highlights through the Lens of Music 

I played Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” in groups of six, saw Wilco back-to-back at The Wiltern, put my right-hand high with Kid Sister, blew a kiss to Ben Gibbard as Hollywood Bowl exploded with fireworks, chilled with A Place to Bury Strangers, worked-out to Miike Snow, beatboxed with Matis, moved to Silver Lake, boogied down at Nightmares on Wax, got blinded by Mandy’s rock, took my clothes off at Phoenix…

And if you’re in town for Lolla, don’t forget to head over to Kid Cudi, Amazing Baby, Hood Internet and many more.
