Had to make this one a tie. Two great blogs put in their two cents halfway through 2009:
Stranger Dance: “Best of 2009… So Far” Jay and Co. know how to walk the walk with that new website. Cheers to them.
Music For Kids Who Can’t Read Good: “Favorite Albums of 2009 (so far)” Ants Maestro Taylor breaks it down with his typical creativity, including 12 and a half albums. To make it 25 by the end of the year. (An EP is the half – duh).
