these are the top 10 of 2009 for each of us. as 2008 was sort of a slow year music-wise, 2009 had to really bring the goods, and they arrived. from early january, when merriweather post pavilion (placing in both of our top 10s) dropped, the stage was set, and the onslaught of new to the scene lofi/surf/noise/pop/some combination of those records that dropped all summer and continuing into the fall made sure there was always a topnotch new 7" to put on the ol' record player (or hard drive). some bands blew us away again, many refined their sound, and there are so many songs that we feel nostalgia for already, because in a certain place or time we heard them in 2009, we were somewhere with people loved doing what we wanted to do. we know the world's weird right now, but music is there with us to help us sort everything all out- right where we want it to be.
