Best of 2009

Looking back at my best of 2008 list, I realized if I were to make that list again it would be completely different. It's funny how much you can change in a year. Since last year, I've discovered new music, my musical tastes have shifted, and I've started to appreciate more than just the music that can get itself embedded in my head. With that said, here's my shred of recognition for what I feel is the best of 2009.

1. Relient K - Forget and Not Slow Down

2. The Fold - Dear Future, Come Get Me...

3. Owl City - Ocean Eyes

4. Barcelona - Absolutes

5. Deas Vail - Birds & Cages

6. Switchfoot - Hello Hurricane

7. The Almost - Monster Monster

8. We Shot the Moon - A Silver Lining

9. This Providence - Who Are You Now?

10. Philmont - Attention

Time Flies...Or Crawls

Yeah, once again it has been over a month since I last wrote anything and I have absolutely nothing to say. I just thought I'd get on here so all one and a half of you who actually reads this won't feel like I've forgotten you. I do have a few songs. I have one complete song, a couple that are almost complete, one that all it has is a melody, a couple still in the lyrics stage, and one in the "I just had an idea of a song I should write" stage. And no, this isn't a new thing. These songs have been gradually accumulating over the past several months.

So...the past couple of weeks have been a ton of fun. I went to a Halloween party last night, hung out with all my best buddies, and had an absolutely amazing time. Very excited I didn't have any nightmares. Last Friday (Oct 24) I had the best night of my life by far. Went to go see my favorite band, Relient K, live in Charlotte, along with their awesome openers House of Heroes, This Providence, and Ludo. They played a whole bunch of my favorite songs, including one I had no idea they were going to play, and it was indescribable fun.

I guess that's it for today. I'll let you know if I ever decide to do anything productive.
