Top #25 of 2009

Hey folks! I'm back again after sitting out for quite a while. No real reason to my absence in particular, just mainly capped internet from time to time. I did manage to watch all 5 seasons of "The Wire" 3 or 4 times through in the last six months though.. quite an accomplishment eh? So let's put the blame of my absence on that excellent TV show. I have so many new amazing albums I'd like to put in your ear, so hopefully I'll start uploading again regularly soon.

In the mean time I thought I'd share my favourites of the year that's gone. I've already jerked around with my initial list (as seen on my last.fm page), I think I'll finally leave it as is for now. Please, feel free to comment on my list, or list some of your own favourites.
