In the same fashion I went about doing this last year I will do a Top Ten Albums countdown beginning 10 days before the end of the year. I am also thinking that I will do a Top Ten Tracks of 2009 that will begin 20 days before that. I better get to work on this quick like.
Did I miss anything particularly noteworthy? Please let me know if I did so I do not forget to check something or another that might be awesome but forgotten out!
