Here are my top twenty favorite albums of 2009. Also presented without commentary because this is an ART blog, not a music blog! Even though I do waver from the art posts from time to time to let you all know about music uh… artists you might want to check out. Anyhow, next post I promise I will have some new art. The cartoony sort.

Lots of other great ones came out, but those are the one I probably listened to the most. I think this was actually a great year for music—better than last—and great for indy rock in particular. My most anticipated new album of 2010 has got to be the new Arcade Fire, due out in May. Just in time for my birthday. :)

perfect list! I knew you’d put mumford and sons within the top three. I’m a littel surprised about the yeah yeah yeah’s, though. I didn’t know you liked that album so much! I love it too :)

of course! it had an advantage of coming out early in the year and me never getting sick of it. in fact, i think i’m going to listen to it again right now!
