GIMME TINNITUS

Quick before the month is over, let’s stop and look back and reflect on on what we were listening to one year ago.

I must say it feels weird posting a live WOXY track the day after they stopped live broadcasting. There must be something we can do to bring back live broadcasts to WOXY. Let’s get on that, ok?

Oh, this is the March 2009 Mix. Listen.

So this post contains (pretty much) all of my favorite mp3s from 2009. I have not put them in any sort of preferential order. These are sorted by artist in alphabetical order.

Take your time, scroll slowly, there are some real gems here. You may notice some big names missing here. Well, you know you can find those mp3s elsewhere (right?).

I will be putting up best of 2009 posts all week, so make sure you check back here soon. Also, if you haven’t already, you should check out largehearted boy’s 2009 Year-End Online Music Lists. Good stuff.
