I do a bi-weekly show at WPKN-FM in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Here's the first of two shows of my 2009 faves, which was broadcast this past Tuesday. In December and January, I spend a lot of time seeking out music from other people's best of or underrated lists as I'm preparing for my show (thank you Ecto!), so it's a fun time for me to discover new music as well as revisiting things I've bought and liked. Two of my new finds (not sure if they were mentioned here) were Mayer Hawthorne, a young white soul singer from Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Gossip, a self-described lesbian punk trio from Arkansas who have evolved into playing a lot of very catchy electronic dance music with the formidable Betty Ditto on lead vocals. On the world music front, I enjoyed Staff Benda Billi, a group from the Congo whose members are all polio victims and who play very lively music. This is is certainly not all Ecto, but I think it was a great year for music from all sorts of places.
