The whole documentary is online and ready for public admiration. What are you waiting for? Get your Phoenix on:

Phoenix have become one of the biggest bands around period. Their success is 100% well deserved. I couldn’t be happier to find out that a Phoenix documentary is on the way. On October 13 a documentary about the band called, From A Mess To The Masses, will be released.

Director Antoine Wagner, who directed the music video for “Lisztomania”, filmed the bands humongous Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix , tour and the result of all that will be the 52 minute documentary.

The film will hit on the Arte television network in France/Germany on October 13. Here’s to hoping someone is cool enough to upload it for the rest of us right after.

A documentary about Phoenix is certainly one of the coolest things that I have heard all week. Check out the trailer below:

I just remembered that I’m seeing Phoenix this Sunday at Cornell University. I’m so excited to once again relive the amazing live experience that they deliver. I also forgot to post “Love Like A Sunset Part 3″, which is pretty much a remix of part 2. The band gave it away for free if you retweeted a tweet about their upcoming MSG show.

Can’t believe how big these guys have gotten, but I’m damn proud.

Grab part 3 below:

Phoenix stopped by the NPR offices to play for their Tiny Desk Series. The french kings played an intimate set that included Lisztomania, Armistice, 1901, and a cover of Air’s “Playground Love”. It was really cool to see the band in such a small setting. They seem like really genuine guys who love what they do.

Watch the performance right here.

Phoenix have become one of my top 10 favorite artists after releasing the magnificent Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix last year. They won a grammy, and recieved a lot of acclaim across the board. To keep their success going they have released a free live album called Live In Sydney.

The album features live renditions of 8 of the albums songs all available to download right from Phoenix’s site. If you are too lazy, download the ZIP file below:

I wish I had this experience when I was a young lad, getting to cover a Phoenix song when you were a kid? How bad-ass is that? I want to give this music teacher a hug!

The chorus has their own blog. Phoenix even showed their approval of the gorgeous cover.

I really wish that we did this at their Central Park show…. Next NYC show, lets do it!!!!

What? Yeah Jersey Shore’s very own star Snooki interviewed Phoenix today. I won’t lie the Jersey Shore hooked me in like everyone else. It was one of the better reality shows in a long time!

MTV had Snooki at the Grammy’s to interview our favorite French band Phoenix at the Grammys. Snook’s asked the band if they know what a guido are, and says that the bands guitarists looks like Edward from Twilight….sure…

I would also like to take this time to congratulate the boys of Phoenix for their Grammy Win for Best Alternative Album. They totally deserved it!!!!

Watch the short interview below:

2009 was a pretty good year in music overall. I spent countless hours with these albums making great memories with my friends, and rocking out to them blasting away in my room or my car. These were the finest albums in my mind, and 2009 would not have been the same without them.

We started it off strong with Animal Collectives MPP, and I thought it would be my #1 for sure. Then Grizzly Bear came knocking with Veckatimest. I thought for sure those would be my 1 and 2. However, the Arctic Monkeys came back darker and recharged the fanboy within me. However, Phoenix came out of no where to deliver one of the finest albums of 2009, blowing the competition out of the water. We had very solid debuts with The XX, Local Natives, and Passion Pit, along with stunning albums from the likes of The Antlers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.

So without anymore hesitation here are my 25 favorite albums of 2009:
