On Repeat: Eels – Little Bird
First of all we must put our hands up for criminally overlooking Eels excellent Hombre Lobo album in our 2009 best albums list. There’s only so many hours in the day to listen to music and somehow that one slipped through the net until recently. We’re not about to make the same mistake with Eels forthcoming album ‘End Times’. Take a listen to the beautiful Little Bird as a taster of things to come. It’s vintage Eels.
For Fans Of: EELS

Panda Bear @ Heaven, March 11th.
What? 2010 was arguably Animal Collective’s year with their Merriweather Post Pavilion topping a lot of best album lists. Not ours mind. We liked it but mainly for Noah Lennox a.k.a. Panda Bear‘s contributions which were as ever; breathtaking, one man Beach Boys esque, trippy masterpieces. So it is with much joy we greet the news of Panda Bear’s upcoming show at Heaven Under The Arches.

Music Mule’s Gigs of 2009
2009 has whizzed by in a blur of fantastic gigs. Here’s a little list of some of our favourites with links to words, pictures and if you’re lucky, videos of some truly great shows from our home city of London and sometimes further afield. As with our efforts at ordering albums and songs of the year it’s been a challenge to remember and quantify the enjoyment we’ve benefited from this year but we’ve given it a shot. // more

Music Mule’s Songs of 2009
Ok so here’s our favourite tracks that didn’t feature on our albums of 2009, with the small exception of numbers 1 and 2! These get a pass and here’s our warped logic – it was perhaps the unbelievably high benchmark that these two tracks set that meant we were a little disappointed with the rest of their respective records, meaning they appeared a little further down our album list than we would have expected/liked. They are absolutely the best two tracks of the year and deserve SHOUTING about! // more
