Comments
Grizzly Bear, St. Vincent, Japandroids, and Converge were pretty much what would be on my list if I expanded it to 20.
So it expand it to 20.
I basically grabbed my top 40 mathematically from my ratings at work. Then I started re-ordering. Once it got the point where I didn’t feel I could rate one album over another, I cut it off. So, in essence, I got very familiar with only 25 albums this year.
Now to go and fill in all the missing reviews on mixtape. You should do the same!
Why is this not an FTP folder? Everyone?
I just assume everyone knows how to get to and use my dyn-o-saur server to grab music off my home machine.
Of course, I haven’t gotten that back up running since having moved over christmas weekend. Hopefully have that set up again over the weekend. If you don’t know the address and how to connect, shoot me an email for facebook message. I’ll trade you albums for a sketchup blueprint :)

you still owe me a some website work for the posters & stuff i matted for you like 2 years ago. i am patient.
You haven’t asked me for any?

i have, but you have been swamped with freelance work every time i’ve mentioned it. obviously no big deal, i’ll email you about it later.
Email me about it now! I have another freelance project starting on or around Jan 4th, though. So who knows.
Holy crap. Look what’s on my Top lists of 2009. Mumford and Sons. Bam, roasted.

Whatever happened with this by the way? I enjoyed robbing you blind.
heheheh, I work from home and my music is stored on my internal hard drive now. Two reasons I’d rather not give up all my bandwidth all day.
That said, the web’s gotten to the point where it’s almost easier to just google “megaupload albumname” or “rapidshare albumname” or “albumname torrent”
Understandable. For some reason, stealing from you felt less like stealing though. This will be missed.
So stream ’em on grooveshark!
