SDM’s Top 50 Songs of 2009…
Today is officially the last last day of 2009 so we thought it would be fitting to release our top songs of the year list. Maybe you can even use them to put a little NYE playlist together. As for me I’ll be watching the Flaming Lips cover Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. Everyone have fun and be safe tonight. See you next year. Goodbye year. Goodbye decade.

Why Wilco’s “Bull Black Nova” for #4? Every time I play this album people love it, except this song…it seems to belong to the Album: A Ghost Is Born. A Very abrasive song, like Kidsmoke.
However I only recognize half the artist in this list…so I have some sound adventuring to do!
