Fast Forward… Faves of 2009

Sure I’m three months early but here is my first thoughts on 2009. It’s all about how dance met indie and hip hop and began the evolution. Although Dirty Projector’s Bitte Orca is my second fave album of the year, Bitte Orca is an individual success and Black Eyed Peas ripples through the music industry.


I’ll write (a lot) more when we get closer but here’s a sneak peek.
