Kelly Rosebud & Ross at XX Merge
I’m more of a “song” kind of guy, so most of my list is comprised of favorite tracks of 2009. However, there were a handful of records that I listened to on repeat. Also, I threw in a TV show, a webshow, and a music festival that really helped to make my year. Happy holidays to everyone and a happy 2010!
