Top Albums of 2009 (all twenty of ‘em)
Wednesday, December 30, 2009
Each Christmas time, I discover a few things I love and few others I hate. The stress can be exhausting and while emotions run high to escape from this craziness I set aside a little time to reflect on the year in the most important way… by its music. I liked my 2008 format so [...]
