I recently chatted with Carpe PM’s DJ Jess. Our full exchange:

1. How would you describe Carpe PM’s sound in twenty words?

For every gutter romance, a melody. For every troubled poet, a lyric. For every wonderful heartbreak, a beat.

2. What were favorite albums of 2009?

The album is a dead format. The future of music lies in the single MP3 “bundle” with a b-side and a remix. I’m not alone in thinking this, and I’m excited about it, as bands and artists will be forced to release only music worth listening to. Can you imagine that? Me neither. Having said that, 2009 brought us the perfect synth-pop album with Royskopp’s Junior. Fat synths, clever beats, whirling filters, intoxicating vocals, and a focus on the most important thing: melody, melody, melody!
