Today is the first day of 2010, and so I’ve decided to post an obligatory top list of 2009. I spend almost 2 hours a day commuting, and 9+ hours working at a desk on the computer either at my workplace or my home studio. Naturally music is one of the best options for passing time more quickly. So here are my favorite songs from 2009. I’ve linked the songs to their Last.fm pages.
Honorable Mention(s): Brandi Carlile “That Year”
10. Tegan and Sara “Red Belt”
9. Regina Spektor “Two Birds”
8. Jack Penate “Pull My Heart Away”
7. Miike Snow “Animal”
