2009 in musical form

I was thinking about this the other day, and couldn't really remember buying much new music this year. I knew I'd been listening to a lot of stuff, but for some reason thought it was all old. A proper digging session revealed, though, that I nabbed a shit load of stuff this year. Some of it was utterly woeful, but the list you see below are the proper gems of 2009 as far as I'm concerned

Best of 2009
(in a sorta vague order)
  1. Nero's Day at Disneyland - From Rotting Fantasylands
  2. Telepathe - Dance Mother
  3. Kid606 - Shout At The Döner
  4. Clark - Totems Flare
  5. Major Lazer - Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do
  6. Annoying Ringtone - Club Jumping
  7. Bizzy B - Retrospective
  8. DJ /rupture and Andy Moor - Patches
  9. Loren Connors - The Curse Of Midnight Mary
  10. Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport

Tune of the year 2009

  • David Guetta featuring Akon - Sexy Bitch

Almost but not quite...

  • Venetian Snares - Horsey Noises (decent-but-not-amazing EP; worth it just for the line "I have drawn you a picture of a giraffe fucking an elephant, notice how his moustache looks just like mine")
