it’s not going to be that kind of review. the year was great, then it sucked worse than anything, then it was maybe 10 shades of suck, then it got better.

however, what was great for 2009 was some music. and turning 30. i think that was great. so here are my top whatevers of 2009. in no particular order.

blood bank – bon iver
vitalic – flashmob
phoenix – wolfgang amadeus phoenix
metric – fantasies
wale – attention deficit
neko case – middle cyclone
jay z – the blueprint 3
the xx – xx
fake blood – fix your accent ep
