A) There seemed to be so many great albums released in 2009
B) When making a “Best Of” mix the songs aren’t necessarily going to make as much sense transition-wise from the DJ standpoint.
These songs are supposed to represent the 21 albums I personally enjoyed the most over the past year. It’s a time capsule for me to look back on years down the road, and I hope it also helps you remember some of what this sacred weird year of 2009 had to offer us. As always - thanks for listening, and may this New Year be your happiest & healthiest to date.
