For today’s special edition of Blog Radio, Sirius asked us to count down the top 5 artists that we think are most likely to succeed in 2009. Of course, success is a relative term, so my list is essentially just the artists I look forward to hearing new material from/want to see live/expect breakout years from in ’09. The Hipster Runoff radio program kicks things off at 5 PM EST on Sirius XMU, and you can hear my show shortly after that (shows will also be rebroadcast on Saturday and Sunday). There are obviously tons of artists that didn’t make the list because of time constraints, but you can see my top 5 and a few honorable mentions after the jump…
**********************
5. Ariel Pink’s Haunted Grafitti :: can’t hear my eyes
4. Girls :: hellhole ratrace
3. Harlem :: south of france
2. WAVVES :: weed demon
1. SALEM :: sweat
Honorable Mentions:
The Golden Filter :: solid gold
Weird Tapes :: home
CFCF :: cassie x lil’ wayne :: official girl (CFCF remix)
Fan Death :: veronica’s veil
Alela Diane :: white as diamonds
***********************
I second that motion on Girls for most likely to succeed in 2009. My hometown favorites! Check out another one of my SF faves, Ty Segall, if you haven’t already.

Wow. The Golden Filter track is solid, most definitely.
Would definitely add Little Boots to the list.
Girls and Harlem are sounding fab, thanks for the nod.
Eagleowl are well worth a wee Scots look for 2009, especially their track “mf”.
Take care!
Red Wire Black Wire, fo shizzle.

Lovin the new ariel pink
Hey i was actually listening to this show and there was some stuff I loved but can’t remember at this point. Any idea where I can get a track list of what was played tonight?
Also, blog radio its awesome in general, so keep up the good work. (I had xm so this is a recent thing for me)
Happy new year all
thanks for that
Without being a drag, The Golden Filter is like totally two summers ago.
You must be referring to their “sound” because solid gold was only released last summer.
Ariel Pink is bringing a soft rock vibe to indie radio.
Harlem, Wavves, Ariel Pink and Girls are going to kill it this year. Also, check out Red Mass http://www.myspace.com/redmassfce with ex-members of CPC Gangbangs and Hot Springs.
I can’t wait until you guys see Dananananaykroyd.

Forever in debt for being introduced to Wavves.

Hatchback / Windsurf gon be big.

Agree with a few of your tips there.
I also think you could add V V BROWN, FRANKMUSIK, WE HAVE BAND and LA ROUX to the list, but that’s why we have these things we call opinions I guess…
Any chance of getting added onto your blog roll? Let me know if you do…

Runes of Magic is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role playing Game without monthly costs all kinds of Rom Gold and free to download. The premise is that you have played this game and understand the necessary Runes of Magic Gold in the Runes of Magic game. Perhaps the first monster I saw taken down in the demo can gain those varieties of Runes of Magic money. Characters choose one class; the important one is that we have to buy Rom Gold first. You can switch freely between the two classes, but you can only use primary abilities from your primary class, along with cheap Runes of Magic Gold, secondary abilities from your secondary class.
