I'm very particular about my music, and unlike movies, it's been rather a good year so far for album releases. I'm not going to bother reviewing them, I've listed these as they are in my opinion the best music of 2009 so far. If you haven't heard any of them... go check them out :)

Brakes - Touchdown
Bat for Lashes - Two Suns
Jarvis Cocker - Further Complications
David Holmes - The Holy Picture
Handsome Furs - Face Control
Swan Lake - Enemy Mine
Royksopp - Junior
The Veils - Sun Gangs
Albert Hammond Jr - ¿Cómo Te Llama?

After enjoying the amazing season 1 of Californication, David Duchovny returns as the womanising, anarchic writer who's lost his inspiration for work and desires the love of his ex girlfriend and mother of his child (and every hot woman that passes him by). Season 2 kicks off with Hank running off with his long lost love on her wedding day, accidentally going down on the wrong woman, assaulting a police officer, winding up in a cell where he finds new inspiration in a new book. Truelly the best thing on TV for a long time... in my opinion of course ;)

I've just completed Dead Space on the PS3 and my god... what a game! It's basically Resident Evil in space... but you can actually run with your weapons drawn, and it's a hell of a lot more scary, i did jump out of my skin on numerous occasions, and once spilt my cup of tea of all over myself! It takes a lot of it's inspiration from horror classics such as John Carpenters 'The Thing' & Ridley Scotts 'Aliens'... Highly recommended!
