My brother and I collaborated on this project for a friend. She has a new EP coming out soon and needed some design work done for it. Her music is great; you should go check her stuff out at www.myspace.com/tarasheffield - And here’s the artwork (front and back):

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to all who have supported me throughout this year. This might just be my last post of the decade. It’s been a great one. I’m looking forward the the next. I’ve learned a lot this past year and expect to learn even more in 2010. In honor of the holiday, I have created a festive wallpaper for you all to download. Just click download full size when you rollover the image. Merry Christmas everybody!

Last year I compiled a list of my favorite albums of 2008. I have decided to do that again this year for 2009.
It’s been a great year of music with some great rising artists and plenty of talented new ones. But some of the best music of this year were new releases from old bands and artist.

So this is a list of my favorite picks from this year. I also awarded Best Song of the Year, Best New Artist, and Best Rising Artist. And if you have any albums that you think i’ve looked over, please tell me. More wonderful melodies are always welcome.

Best Album of the Year

10. "Lungs" - Florence + The Machine	9. "Troubadour" - K'Naan	8. "Stockholm Syndrome" - Derek Webb
7. "Up From Below" - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros	6. "Far" - Regina Spektor	5. "The Resistance" - Muse
4. "Strict Joy" - The Swell Season	3. "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix" - Phoenix	2. "I and Love and You" - The Avett Brothers
1. "The Hazards of Love" - The Decemberists All of these picks on this list were hard to nail down in numerical order. I didn't really know what to determine one album being better than the other. So it just came down to this: what I listened to the most. The album I listened to the most this year was definitely The Decemberists' album, Hazards of Love. I just kept coming back to it. I didn't really like The Decemberists until they debuted this record at SXSW 2009 and it was love at first listen.

Best Song of the Year

Best Song of the Year: "My Girls" - Animal Collective

Ok. I must confess, I didn't like this whole album. I just couldn't get into Animal Collective as much as I wanted to when I first heard about them. I guess they are too weird for me. But I really loved this song. I couldn't stop listening to it this year. This song gives me hope for more Animal Collective. See for yourself.

Best New Artist

Best New Artist: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

I first heard these guys on a Tiny Desk Concert on NPR's All Song's Considered Podcast. I saw at least eight or nine people playing instruments. What a large band. What was even better was their enthusiastic sound. This is a band I'm really looking forward to hearing more of.

Best Rising Artist

Best Rising Artist: Phoenix

Their poppy synth leads and catchy guitar riffs caught me instantly off guard. I didn't know what to do: sit there in astonishment or dance? This is music you want to move to. Every time I saw the new Cadillac commercial I had to turn up the TV and pause what I was doing to bust a move. This band got huge fast. And they will only get better.

So today I was looking for a decent Wallpaper for ABC’s new show Defying Gravity. My room mate and I have really been enjoying the show so far and he asked me if i could find a good wallpaper. After much tedious searching, I came to the conclusion that no good wallpaper exist. Thus, I do the next best thing: design my own. So that is exactly what I did. I opened up photoshop and after a couple of long hours, this is the finished product. Hope you enjoy!
