My Favorite Albums of 2009: 25-11
I’m not completely happy with this list. I’ve been agonizing over it for about a month now, and no matter how I work it, it doesn’t seem to come out right. I listened to about 250 albums this year, a paltry percentage of the number of total releases. Even out of those, I only listened [...]

My Favorite 50 Songs of 2009: 10-1
